Good to know. I’ll add that to a check list to go through every now and again

Ah man, but at least you have 2 years of experience under your belt!

Thank you!

Thank you, that did the trick to remove it!

If i were to leave something like that, is there a risk of a fire starting?

Thank you for your advice and encouragement! Its comforting to know that its happened to everyone and its a common error.

After everything is cleaned up should i reseat the heat block before i remove the nozzle to clear the gunk or after?

Anytime. Thank you for your words of encouragement!

No worries! Thats exactly where it is. The burned on stuff goes all the way down the side and around the back.

I’m afraid this bing need to be totally taken apart but i haven’t done much more than investigate and pull at some easy pieces so far.

Keep in mind this is my first printer and I’m new to the hobby so I’m at the why isn’t this working and why did I do this to myself stage. This might not be a problem for more experienced people. Thankfully this community exists because I’d be lost otherwise

The problem is I don’t even know what happened or how the pla got around that silicon sleeve. Part of me just wants to say forget it and continue to print with it like this but I feel like this is just a fire waiting to happen.

Thank you for the advice! I think I’m gonna run with it and put the printer in the closet for a bit.

Anything else but an Ender 3. I’ve spent more time tinkering with the thing than I have printing

It looks like I can’t extrude in the air either. Maybe I didn’t get all the gunk out of the nozzle the first time I’m just clueless on how to. I tried soaking it and acetone and digging stuff out and that didn’t seem to do it and the only pen I have doesn’t go through the hole in the nozzle. It’s too thick. It’s sitting at about 240 right now so I’m hoping That it just melts I guess.

At this point, I’m wondering if it’s not just worth buying a new nozzle and calling it a day

Thank you! I retested and tighten the screw down way more. I’m testing now. Fingers crossed that did it

I just test, unfortunately it looks like thats not the issue. But that raises the question, could the spring tension be to high?

Our group plays Sunday evening twice a week and thats worked out pretty well since its the end of the weekend. Grant it only two of us are married and the other married guy is the only one with kids though. Maybe the end of the weekend would be a better time?

We also just keep playing if someone has a vacation planed. Their character earns half xp and is basically in town or at the tavern in game. Would something like that work for your group? That might help eliminate some of her frustration when trying to plan family events.

Decide if you want to print or tinker with your printer first. I personally don’t like the tinkering portion and learned that after it was too late. Don’t be afraid to save what you’ve got now and buy the right printer not the one that is easily picked up right now

Its true, from a certain point of view

What is brennivin? To be honest I’d try it again if theres a better way to eat it

Horse. A friend of mine brought some from Iceland and was kind enough to share. Its somewhere between pork and beef to me.

The fermented shark he brought back on the other hand, was the worst thing I have ever tasted. The smell alone cleared the room, and as one chef instructor said, “it smells like dirty pussy”.

Thank you!

Did you put a pause on a layer to complete the switch over?

Thank you!
