Posted · Help! Wood filament stuck in hot end/extruder part?

I was using wood filament and one of my prints turned into massive spaghetti, so I switched nozzles on my Ultimaker 2+ Extended to the .8mm nozzle and I'm currently printing something perfectly. My issue is that there appears to be a large ball of wood filament stuck between the metal part that has the nozzle and the part above that, between the two fans. Is this bad, and if so how do I fix this issue? IMG_0001.thumb.jpg.2f0fa9220be7123bbe5b2d459788b8d1.jpg

    Hi,

    and welcome to the forum.

    I'll make it short: yep, that's bad.

    You don't want molten filament there. It looks like filament is leaking somewhere and you'll need to take the head apart to remove the filament. That's not very hard to do. Just make sure you find the source of the leak. Maybe something is not tightened down well enough. Most likely the nozzle.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
