  1. My business has had the print head get completely encased in plastic ruining the head and several of the print cores. I've caught the printer before during the "print blob" just sit there and dump plastic in the same spot without moving and I was able to kill the power before it completely encased the head again. It seems like a bug but I doubt Ultimaker will ever admit it. Anyway, I have to babysit this machine until it successfully makes it through the print blob phase at the beginning of EVERY print. Cool. My actual question is about spare parts for the print cores...when I've dug out the plastic to salvage pieces of the head and the I've managed to break the little metal piece that the heat block attaches to (see attached pictures). Can this one piece be purchased so I can repair my print cores without having to spend $125 each to replace the cores? Between new heads and cores I'm at around $800 in parts. About ready to throw this thing in the dumpster and buy a different brand, or buy another Extended 2. That thing is a champ.
  2. Whenever I use dual extrude on on ultimaker 3 extended cura makes this weird little phantom column/tube off to the side. The print actually creates this thing too, but I cannot delete it out. Is this some type of cleansing/purging/self alignment/whatever that the program has to have or is there some way to get rid of it?
