Topic: Hotend Heatbreak problems

So I just got a used Press and most of it seems fine except for the fact when ever I push filament through eventually it gets too hot in the heatbreak that I can't push anymore. Is there something I'm missing to the heatbreak like is there any teflon or any way to fix this?

Yup! Anything should I look for? I took it apart and removed the drive gear and spring so I could manually push in the filament and it goes through at first but eventually it stops and I have already unclogged the hotend

Re: Hotend Heatbreak problems

About all I know is that the Press temps read way off.  For ABS I recall seeing users running around 250-255.  This would put PLA temps more in the range of 210-215?  You may need to come up with a way to verify the actual temp of your hot end.
