Hi Enigma I have never had to remove a print core before. In the power off should it pop out effortlessly after piching the two spring loaded levers? I don't want to force anything after my head flood.

Hi I am trying to recover from a nasty bout of "head flood" on my company's S5. With heat gun and dremel I have removed the blob. Now I am trying to remove the nozzles. The manual says you must be in "configuration" menu to remove the nozzle. However, I have an ER 28 message that won't clear, so I can not get to configuration mode - leaving me in a catch 22. I am fairly certain I know the cause of the ER28 error. When removing the blob from the "head flood" incident, I broke one wire to the nozzle. How do I clear the error to get to configuration to allow me to remove a nozzle? Thank you

Hi GR5. I have started cleaning out the areain question using my wife's electric hair dryer. With the door stuck in a single position, its a bit tricky getting the needle nosed pliers in the cofined space. Hopefully mu continued hair dryer and continued picking away with the needle nosed pliers will eventually free up the hinge joint on the door. You are right, when I discovered it, the print was skating around on the glass plate like a hockey puck. Thanks for the help on this one!

Hi guys, hopefully someone can advise how I can get out of my predicament. Part way into a print job I must have had a clogging of a nozzle. When I discovered the situation, the x-y axis was still "printing" like nothing was wrong, but a large blob of solidified PLA was stuck on the outlet of the nozzle, and the fan bracket had popped about half way open. I have removed the Bowden tube and gently removed the solidified blob from the outside of the nozzle. I think the next step is to remove the clogged print core. The problem is the fan bracket is not opening fully. As mentioned above, I discovered it half open, but it seems stuck in that position. I can see a blob of solidified PLA underneath the fan cover. I do not want to use too much force to try to open it fully, for fear that I damage something. Anybody encountered this situation and can suggest what I should do? Thanks
