clogged hotend remove plastic No plastic would come out of the extruder so I took off the hot end from the wades extruder to see if I could manually push plastic though it and I could not so I heated up to 230 degrees (I'm using pla)and still nothing would come out so I took apart the Jhead hotend and I saw that thier is hard plastic right where the metal piece touches it so I turn the plastic sticking out of it around and the piece on the other side didn't turn so thier is 2 pieces of plastic stuck in it so I tried pulling the piece sticking out out but it would not come so I tried pushes it though and it brook right next to the hotend so know I have no plastics that I can grab anymore. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,316660#msg-316660 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:01:27 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319649#msg-319649 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319649#msg-319649 soaring eagle Reprappers Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:41:54 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319561#msg-319561 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319561#msg-319561 e3d-online.com]
I have no investment in the company, just a happy customer :)
It's worth it to not have headaches over it, I've had a few of those dreams too]]> jasperash Reprappers Tue, 04 Mar 2014 09:16:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319387#msg-319387 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319387#msg-319387 soaring eagle Reprappers Mon, 03 Mar 2014 23:54:11 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319361#msg-319361 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319361#msg-319361
When i first started printing, I went through about 7 J-head clones, from the company i got the printer off. I almost threw the printer out...

after 12 months i went with a good quality hotend and have never had an issue with it...


my hotend issues caused me to rage and dream about smashing my printer into pieces..

Never again, dont waste your time with a cheap hotend, its like the heart of your printer..]]> nechaus Reprappers Mon, 03 Mar 2014 22:19:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319344#msg-319344 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,319344#msg-319344

I got the jhead hot end from a seller on eBay or looks like all the other jhead hot ends.

Not all J-Heads are equal. The ones off of eBay are quite often poorly made, and will not print PLA well, if at all.]]> NewPerfection Reprappers Mon, 03 Mar 2014 21:21:59 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,318998#msg-318998 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,318998#msg-318998 soaring eagle Reprappers Mon, 03 Mar 2014 09:20:21 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,317685#msg-317685 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,317685#msg-317685 stonedcoldskier Reprappers Fri, 28 Feb 2014 14:50:30 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,316675#msg-316675 Re: clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,316675#msg-316675 NewPerfection Reprappers Wed, 26 Feb 2014 21:31:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,316660#msg-316660 clogged hotend remove plastic https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,316660,316660#msg-316660 soaring eagle Reprappers Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:06:29 -0500
