Filament is leaking above the heather block

Posted · Filament is leaking above the heather block

We have a brand new UMO+. The first prints looked fine, but we probably made an error when we putted the nozzle in the heather block.

Now it's leaking filament above the heather block.

I tryed to fix it. But because there's filament every were I can't get it loose or tighter.

Is there a trick to solve this problem.

I think I have to get it all loose en clean it and then put it together again.

But i can't get it loose

    I used bottle of air to push the leaked filament with the head hot. But for safety reasons this is something you shouldn't do. But it worked for me. But don't do it :)

    After that it was just a matter of atomic pull and tight the nozzle properly. (Don't overdo or the bozzle/heater block) can suffer.

    Heat the block to 180C and then just start removing the extra PLA and then you can unscrew things while hot. Be gentle using wrenches as brass and aluminum are not as strong as steel.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
