Topic: Questions that probably don't need a new thread

So I'm full of stupid questions that don't really need a new thread. So am gunna post em here...
Please feel free to post your unimportant questions here too.
(This is a copy of the minor upgrades thread but these aren't upgrades.)

1. So ABS oozes out of the barrel from the PEEK and top of the nozzle, How can I make it not do that?

2. Can I put the PEEK insulator into acetone and clean off the oozed abs, or will it melt?

Chemistry leads me to believe that the PEEK will resist the acetone, but I have no hands-on knowledge with it.

Re: Questions that probably don't need a new thread

You can return the hotend to SD, or thread it in tighter while hot.
PEEK + acetone is fine.

Both of these have been covered before and could have been answered by searching.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend

Re: Questions that probably don't need a new thread

Thanks! guys

OK, I searched, but I came up with nothing for this one...

Where can I get another one of these or another with the same specs? It's the Y belt in the back of the printer.
