It ate up the nozzle, but stopped it before it got to the heater thank goodness. I managed to hack it off. The small piece of insulation was a writeoff though. It happens when the part detaches from the bed and gets stuck to the nozzle. The hot end just pumps more plastic into the middle making a bigger and bigger blob.

This is what I was thinking happened. There was no print left on the bed and was printing at 210C with this white plastic for about a week without incedent. Unless is killed the thermistor somehow...

(the nozzle and the peek come from soliddodle with a problem still grumpy over that

I dont think I blew the peek. I think my print came up of the bed and got stuck on the hot end. I twatched it print just fine for an hour before going to bed. Im going to pull the plastic off with a blow torch and see what actually happened though.

If you acknowledge the hot end as lost, I wouldn't even bother trying to free it. Just build a nice glass case to display this. You could probably sell it as art.

Be careful you don't overheat as you don't want to destroy the PEEK.

And yes, something like this HAS happened to me... just not quite so much.

I'm not sure how that even happens?  Unless you have an enclosure that gets really hot?

I don't suppose you were trying to print a mashmallow?

Or maybe a mashmallow-a-pult?


Haha no it was a custom bowl shaped device.

In terms of the Acetone i'm not sure it would do anything. The white plastic is solid. It would take way too long and 20 gallons of the stuff.
