Diamondback nozzle clogged
My diamondback nozzle is clogged. Even if the CORE One could do a cold pull I think I'm beyond that. It's clogged with carbon fiber PETG. Extruder just clicks and won't feed. I disassembled things and it stuck a wire down to probe, seems the clog is right around the heat break.
Any suggestions? Are these sturdy enough I can take a propane torch to it and get it red hot to burn stuff out? Do I soak it for a month in some solvent? Right now it's a pretty expensive paperweight. I had hoped this was the last nozzle I'd ever buy.
For now I'm back on the trusty tungsten carbide nozzle with adapter. At least I can disassemble that thing if I had a problem (never have though).
RE: Diamondback nozzle clogged
I have precisely the same problem.
I heated it with a lighter. I left it for days in aceton and it didn’t help
So I would also be glad with a solution.

E3D specifically say not to use a blowtorch: Prusa Support: DiamondBack Nextruder Nozzles
You can do a cold pull with the Core One. Just install the 6.4.0-RC firmware. There is now a cold pull guide.
