			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>What I did was carefully scrape out any larger pieces of gunk out of the heater block then soaked it in acetone for half an hour or so.<br />I also soaked the thread on the heat break which connects to the heater block as it wasn&#039;t screwing in as far as it should due to some gunk around the thread.<br />To be honest though, it hasn&#039;t been the same since. I&#039;m finding ABS prints ok but PLA is hit or miss (it was previously printing great with a bid of modding).<br />I&#039;m currently in the middle of upgrading to an E3D V6 Lite in the hope of better reliability and print quality.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The filament won&#039;t go through the extruder properly. Even if I take it out and have it heated and I try pushing it through by hand it doesn&#039;t come out as smooth as it supposed to or like it does on my other ones. Any suggestions?</p>]]></content>
