Posted · Plastic flowing around the head must have a loose nozzle connection how do I clean?

We have used two machines to make a large number of parrts over the past 6 months and we are getting plastic coming out of the heads   the machines still work but the heads are very clogged with plastic  What is the best way to clean and by the way where do we order spare parts  Cannot see that from the people we boucht the machine from or the Ultimaker manufacturers website  

 

is there any support or is this a virtual company selling disposable machines?

    It should be not so hard to remove the plastic from the print head. I would use heat gun and carefully soften the filament that you can disassemble the printhead.

     

    And of course you get every spare part you need, just contact an official reseller they have all parts you need.

        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.
