On a scale of 1-10 how Fubared am I?

Got a big old blob of death, how screwed am I?

Very cleanable with a hotair gun, perhaps soldering iron, certainly see if you can heat the hotend. It should all pull off but be careful of the wires.

The hot end is entirely encased, I have been hitting it with a heat gun trying to work my way to through the blob and seems like the wires are starting to get too hot instead

It will come off soldering iron or just buy a new hotend module. I would try and fix it, but that is my mindset.

Hello every,

I kind of realize this is not a fix now comment, but, I remember reading a post elsewhere here where a member soaked a filament coated part and after a while, let it dry … Then the filament was a powder that would brush off.

I have tried a little to find the exact post but unfortunately not.
It was within a thread on this forum.

Maybe by mentioning this, someone may remember it properly …
Then I can bookmark it !

Cheers.

Ha, I found it …

Maybe that may help ?

Cheers.
