  1. The photo of the print head is after several hours of melting away PLA with a soldering iron, it's still got a ways to go clearly. The second image is the corrosion on the rails/sliders that I'm concerned about, the photo has the worst rust the rails are pretty clear but I can see tiny dots starting to appear which is why I'm considering them for replacement.

  2. Thanks for the feedback, I'll take some pictures when I'm in the office again. I was considering replacing the rails because they've been sitting in an empty office for a year without maintenance (Covid) and are starting to show signs of corrosion.

     

    Is Ultimaker the best source for replacement parts? I'm guessing at least for a new print head they would be the go to?

  3. I have an Ultimaker 2+ Extended that was damaged over a year ago. The print failed early on and the entire print head is encased in plastic. After researching I believe it was due to using 3+ year old filament that got jammed. 

     

    Due to the long time without maintenance, is it better for me to replace the 2+ with a newer model or is it worth repairing?

    How is ultimaker at supplying replacement components for their printers?

     

    I imagine I would need all new rails and print head, basically everything above the bed.
