Re: How To: Clean the V3b Barrel and Nozzle with a Propane T
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2017 11:29 pm
Hi people, I have this V3B nozzle all jammed up on my printer.
I tried to take apart my barrel and nozzle but I ended up destroying the threads underneath the nuts, and the barrel still wouldn't move. And that's after I left the barrel and nozzle together in acetone for a few days.
I did try heating the assembly with a heat gun and some plastic did ooze out the back but I still cannot see any light at the end of my barrel/nozzle assembly. I don't know if the heat gun got hot enough but I don't own a propane torch.
Seeing as how the above poster had his barrel snap in two, I guess I'll quit while I'm ahead and then stick my barrel/nozzle back in acetone.
Is the V4 less prone to jamming or at least easier to take apart?
