We seem to have had a jam, and it overflowed and exploded around the hotend.
Wife thinks we just need to buy a whole new main print head, replace everything. We’re not exactly in a financial position to do that, but she feels bad as she was printing board game inserts for a friend and noticed a bad smell, but not that anything was wrong.
I’ve spent the last hour carefully chipping away to get the rubber sleeve off so I could see inside, and then gave up as I don’t want to risk damaging any cables or those copper wires. I think my best bet is buy a heat gun and try to melt the filament off?
Please suggest what to do.
