  1. Dear all.

     

    Before I read your posts I had thought to myself......"Heat it up, see what happens....can't get any worse !"

     

    I plugged the heater power and temp sensor into the mainboard, swiched on...without issue, set the hot end to heat up to 220, then 230, then 240 degrees, and as you can see from the photos I have got the vast majority of the PLA off....phew.

    And yes the fan shroud pan did fill up with plastic.

  2. Hi

     

    Last night, during an overnight print my UM2 seemed to get material caught up in the head assembly which it then proceeded to fill the print head enclosre with black PLA.

     

    I have stripped the print head unit down as far as i am able to but need to get some advise on how to remove the large PLA Blob, which has moulded itself to the hotend and cables.
