Topic: Take apart extruder housing

While removing the filament feeder tube, I unscrewed the metal fitting, leaving part of it inside the extruder housing.  How can I open the extruder box, so I can reassemble the filament input set up?

I you carefully push the little tabs in on the side with a small screwdriver and gently pry the top up. When you get one side up the other side should come off without to much effort. DON'T FORCE IT!

Da vinci Jr.? take out four screws from fan, remove fan, take out two screws under the fan, then try to push the little tabs in on the side with a small screwdriver and gently pry the top up.
