Topic: Forced to clean hot end.. sd3..

What a pain. Zero thought given on easy access for maintenance. Fyi, don't attempt to clean with chemicals without disassembly. My acrylic plates fused together. Had to hot glue pieces back together just to get it up and running. Hot end was fully plugged. Can someone suggest the best upgrade to use with stock hot end? Need to print one before it comes apart..

If anyone else is going to attempt watch a quick tear down video on YouTube and save yourself some time.

Search Thingiverse for Lawsy, numerous extruder designs for printing  available depending on your machine and hot end, very simple print.  Or if you are beyond printing yourself, contact Printit for the printed parts and either an E3D V6 or E3D Lite hot end.  I have both and recommend either depending on your needs.
