Any hope for this nozzle?

A week after I got my UM3E, I managed to do this to a nozzle (with UM PLA):

You can see what happened. :O Is there any hope for saving this nozzle, or should I just order another one?

    You could try very carefully to get the PLA off with a heat gun and tweezers. You want to be careful not to damage the cables or put too much pressure on the brass block and risk damaging the heat break. PLA gets soft at fairly cool temperatures, so you may be able to pull the plastic clear on the outside. I'm not so sure about whatever is inside the nozzle, but if you can get the outside clear, you may be able to push what's on the inside all the way through.

      • 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.
