I had some fan problems when my fan wire (original SD2) was faulty [broken in part.]  Luckily I guess never stayed off *that* long and didn't creep too high that a properly cooled fan couldn't push it out.

That sounds like the solution I was looking for

Thanks Tim!

so heat can't quite make it up there.

I completely clogged my E3D with abs.

How you may ask?

Well my fan went out and as some of you may know if the fan goes out it will clog depending on the length of time.

I tried heating up the extruder and pulled the filament but it snapped in pieces at the beginning of the
cooling fins.

Any ideas how I should unclog it before I take it apart and take a blow torch to it?
