I pulled the whole thing apart. There was some melted filament that leaked out above the heater block. I separated the hot end from the heatsink, and had a nice straight shot through the extruder body and the heatsink. I took the hot end apart, and polished the upper tube as good as I could.
I put it all back together, and same problem. When it was raised off the bed it would extrude forever. W

I built my first printer, a Prusa I2, and it was a lot of fun. I was having problems with the printer stopping randomly during a print. I switched to a short usb cable and was able to print the parts for my I3. Then the problem returned. It will print for anywhere between a few minutes, to maybe an hour before stopping. The heater usually stays on, and melts into the part where it is parked. I'm
