Re: clogged extruder
this is what i did:
- i warmed up the nozzle for ABS (with PLA being stuck)
- i took the loose end of PLA hanging around and i used it to push the broken end into the heat chamber observing the plastic being pushed out from the nozzle
- then i kept pushing the filament for about 2 inches more to make sure it flows out freely
- now it's all nice and clean and ready for printing again
