Remove Broken Print Nozzle
I was trying to replace the brass nozzle that came with the printer. In the process of trying to unscrew it the head snapped off of the threaded part which is now stuck in the heat block. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing it?
Thanks!

Re: Remove Broken Print Nozzle
Sounds like you need an appropriately sized "screw extractor" - looks something like a drill bit with a very coarse "tapered left hand thread" on it. Find a size that will enter and engage in the hole in the screwed part of the nozzle remaining in your heat block and turn the square shank on the end to remove the nozzle part. I would heat up the nozzle (the heat block in this case, really) first.
