Hey snowygrouch,
Thanks for the reply.
In fact, I cannot print anything.
Tonight, I cleaned the PEEK and the brass part connecting to the nozzle and tried pushing some filament through.
It felt like it's the nozzle itself that's clogged. Does anyone know how likely that is?
I managed to push a little filament through but then the pressure needed to push further increased suddenly.
I really hope to get some input from you guys. The only option I see at the moment is to use my spare V2 hot end and replace my current nozzle with it.

Print this (if you can....), add a 40mm AKASA 12V cooling fan (cost €5), add
an external 12V power supply (cost €20), run fan during printing AND keep running until hotend temp
goes below 100 Deg C after stopping printing.
Never have a plug again.
I have a V1 hotend and have never plugged it (in several months) since fitting active cooling to the hotend.
Its really important to leave the fan on after stopping printing otherwise you get heatsoak, which will
plug your nozzle.
If you cannot print one let me know and I will post you one.
If you dont want to do this I suggest you buy a V2 hotend kit, and take very special care to never ever
leave the hotend sitting at printing temperature when not printing (even 10mins will do it).
Regards
C.
