Do not have a hair dryer it seems

Asked my aunt to bring me hers

[copper shuttle]

be patient with it, a little at a time is fine, especially around the wires

but I would also remove everything you can first

eg that pcb, the solder could get hot enough dislodge components or melt connectors

[oblique summit]

Got it

Ill got at it bit by bit with a plier then

[oblique summit]

am scared about this wire tho

[keen osprey]

Right hand side is heater, left hand side is thermistor

Looks like you may just be able to wiggle them out of the board connectors to remove the board (don’t pull on the wires, only manipulate the plugs carefully)

[oblique summit]

Should I go forward and remove the board then?

before applying the hair dryer to remove the big chunks

[keen osprey]

Carefully to keep it out of the way while you work on the blob. As @copper shuttle said remove everything you can

[oblique summit]

Remove all i can of the blob or of the hot end assembly?

sorry its just to make sure

[copper shuttle]

the hot end assembly

[oblique summit]

Got it

[keen osprey]

Better to ask first (-:

[oblique summit]

the booard has most of the connectors glued to it

and most of those are inside the blob

i went to remove the fans but one of them has a single screw where the allen screw is completely round

well not completely round but round enough i cant

and if i keep trying it gets rounder

[keen osprey]

yeah that's unfortunate. Proceed with caution heating up the blob, wafting the hair dryer around a bit to not focus too much heat in one position

[oblique summit]

How long should it take to heat up the blob to make it "malleable"?

which im guessing is t the goal

I put a bit of cardboard over the board

even after few mins the blob seems immoveable

[keen osprey]

It’ll take a while but you should be able to work on it piecemeal

Try contacting sovol about it, they may or may not send a replacement of the whole extruder assembly, no guarantee tho, and if you do manage to clean this up, and they did send you a replacement then you will have a spare

[oblique summit]

I did, waiting for a response
