Extruder disassembling because stucked flex Filament
Hello, I tried printing flex filament...now the flex stucked somewhere in the extruder (Gears). Is there a guide for disassembling it? Or it's just losing the 4 screews on the side where the stepper for extruding sits on?
regards

Its easier than it looks. 2 screw on the back hold the WHOLE assembly to the Y axis.
when its removed, there are then 5 or 6 screw on the other side which allow you to split both 1/2
when you get inside there is literally one loose part... a cog/gear.
All the screws are the same length so reassembly is easy.

you do not need to remove the entire assembly. You can get to the filament by removing 3 bolts from the Extruder engine side. 1 bolt in upper left (the bolt that holds the idle access hatch), one in the upper right (that holds the top of the tension hatch) and one in the bottom left.
remove those three bolts and that part of the block will come loose. there are then 4 bolts on the back side to remove (+ the idle tension bolt) to remove the back of that section of the block.

Isnt that exactly what i suggested?

Thank you both for answers, the dissasembling works fine. The second print try not really.
The flex filament stucked again, I think it's went out of the "Guiding" while retrackting.
