Steven, you can, but if you want the problem to continue it will cost about $70 to put a stock nozzle in lol.

My favorite is the lack of actual help. Its just fan bois whining and nothing productive.

RE: Hotend - Are their any definitive fixes?

Let's try and keep this civil.

Have you reached out to Prusa via the chat feature?

I have never had a clogged hot end and I've been using Prusa Printers since the MK1 1.75mm came out in 2015, and have had a MK1 (1.75mm), MK2, and now the MK3S+.  The very first one had some problems due to part faults and design issues but Prusa sorted it all out quickly and helpfully, and learnt from the issues and the MK2 had no issues at all except when I made a mistake, which we are all prone to do.  The MK3S+ has been perfect so far.

I did have a blob on the MK2 when there was a leak between the heat-break and the hotend, but that was because I hadn't installed them and the nozzle correctly.

It may seem harsh to say but if the printer is assembled and cared for correctly there will be no problems unless you have a defective part, and if that is the case then you need to talk to Support via the chat service, especially if your printer is still under warranty.  Remember that at the moment it is the holidays and Prusa are not a huge multi national company so please bare with them if they seem a tad slow.

This is a user-to-user Prusa forum, so those "fan bois" are the people you will get help from so I wouldn't risk antagonising them if I were you!

are you implying the stock Prusa software's belt tension wizard is off?

No. I'm implying that you are incapable of following simple instructions.

Cheerio,

"My filament sits in a house sub 30% humidity and I put it in the stove for 12 hours at 150F (right near the glass transition temp)" 

 

I'm still a newbie, but was reading this thread just to see if you got your problem resolved.  Then I noticed you state that you put your PETG in the oven at a temp near the glass transition temp.  I wonder if your oven thermostat is out of calibration and you are actually getting your filament too hot?

I hope you get this figured out.

Bob,

Nah, she sits exactly at 150 F. IR and thermometer in the oven agree withing a degree or two.

Diem, learn to read my friend. Literally 3 stock assembled nozzles were leaking too. Please read responses before making your own.
