Posted · Can't get nozzle to budge UM2+ & UM2+Extended

I have tried the instructions on the site and still can't get the nozzles to budge and they appear to be stripping now.
The atomic method has gone smoothly so I know there isn't material still inside either.

 

I've used the little wrench and it's useless it won't even grip the nozzles at all. And they are breaking down too.
I bought a small socket wrench with a 7mm head to try and get better purchase on them. I still get no movement and stripping still.

 

I have no idea what's going on. When I try to take apart the whole head to see if I can get it deeper into the socket I can't get enough movement either and it's extremely hot as well.

 

I'm out of ideas on what to do. I have 5 machines I need to change heads on to print headgear visor masks for hospitals during Covid19 and right now I'm stuck on .4 nozzles making the prints very long.

Any other suggestions of things to try?

      • 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.
