How to take off E3D?
I brought a Prusa mk3 kit and have a wonderful time with it.
Yesterday I decided to disassembly the extruder to change PTFE tube.
But I couldn't find the way to take the E3D out of extruder body.
Could some one please enlighten me is there any easy way to take this off?
Re: How to take off E3D?
If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to take the entire E3D V6 (heatblock, heatbreak, and heatsink) out of the printed plastic parts?
If so, it is a tight fit. It will seem like you might break something, but it will come out without issue. You have to tilt it outward away from the plastic printed part while also pulling downward. Wiggle it back and forth a bit and it will eventually work loose and come apart for you.

Thanks for answer george.
I've tried for 1.30 hr. without success..... anyway I'll try again as you suggest.
Hope Prusa will upgrade the design of this part to be more maintenance friendly in the future.

I was spooked of this as well. The e3d is being held by the tube extending up into the part. You're going to have to turn it at a bit of an angle and pull it out, it requires force. Looks like something that could be easily improved...
