I used a hair dryer to heat it and within a millisecond it turned on... I think it's not preheating by itself, and as soon as it gets a bit warm it turns on. My room is super cold because of the winter, maybe that's why it started recently...
And because I'm such a dolt, I broke the throat screw for the extruder, and it snapped within both the hot end plate, and the plate below the extruder gear.... I tried to remove both of them but they're stuck in there good.
Good news is I can get a replacement throat screw and the aluminum extruder hot end plate... but I couldn't find the part of the plate below the extruder gear, see screenshot attached lol.
The thing in the screenshot is the part I can't find, but the other two parts I was able to order:
1. http://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/afinibot … -tube.html
2. http://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/afinibot … block.html
So yeah, totally unrelated problem now. I opened a support ticket with Robotshop to see if I can some how purchase just that piece alone.
