Topic: Damaged peek insulator pipe

My extruder jamed pretty bad during a print, and I am noticed that the white plastic guide inside the peek insulator pipe had popped out a little. basically the guide the filament first goes trough. have anybody experienced this before? how do I fix it? at this point the peek barrel jams constantly because the white guide is loose and jumps up out of the barrel creating a cap that fills with abs.

Also, solidoodle dose not sell a new peek barrel for the solidoodle 4(new extruder)

Buy an E3D or other all metal hot end and be done with all the problems that go along with standard hot ends.

is it a buy and install type of thing?
or is it more involved then that?

for reference I have a stock SD3, with acrylic jigsaw type head.

Re: Damaged peek insulator pipe

You do have to make/modify some components to fit the E3D it is not quite a bolt-in swap... It's also not that hard smile there are some great threads here on how to do it.

It looks like Solidoodle is no longer using the standard groove mount? Yikes.

Sorry about that for some reason I couldn't open those earlier.  I thought they were bad links, it ended up being on my end.
