what did they suggest so far

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

The solution should be very easy. Put on heat resistant cloves connect the hotend without the heatsink fan ... wait a while and then pull or push

#

Basicly you create artifical heat creep

I tried something simmilar but low temperaturę and a bit diferent but will try ( the temp was 200c

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

It will take a while because the heatbreak well breaks the heat^_^

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

Yeah

#

But how much? Like 5 minutes

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

10 15 minutes just make sure its not touching any plastik etc

#

Btw how did that happend? Tube got loose or wasnt seated correctly?

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

No i just replaced filament it got stuck

#

In heat break

#

Idk how

#

Oh i removed the tube while disasembly

#

What tube?

young solstice Feb 28, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

possibly the filament was too large on the end and was causing a clog

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:13 PM

It wasnt deep

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

Yeah that one is important and if not seated correctly.you get a gap

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

So do i give it back the tube?

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:14 PM

It goes that far

#

The tube

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:17 PM

Soo how to clean it

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:17 PM

You are new to this i guess?

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Yeah my first printer but u do alot of electronics and fix them too

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Its molten plastic so you need something it likes too stick much more then metal like a wodden tooth pick

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

It dont think they will work bit i have some

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

You want something softer then the metal scratching the inside of the heatbreak nozzle heatsink is not good

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

Yeah that's.right

#

Soo what temp (max is 300celcius)

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

I guess the material is pla?

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

Yeah

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

Then max 240 c will still burn up a little of it but not all. And because i dont know the material the heat sink is made of id like to avoid melting it

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

Probably something low melting point because heat sink alwayse cool

#

Now pray so nothing breaks and everything goes well ( uf you are atheist then sorry)

#

Something starter smoking between 50/70celcius (i think its leftover plastic on tip

#

So not worry i guess it stopped when it went to 70celcius

young solstice Feb 28, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

if i had to guess its prob aluminum

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

I dont think the smoke is bad ( Hope nothing is burning)

#

Heat sink still cold a lil bit

#

Fans are off

#

Melting point of aluminium is 600 celcius

#

Ok but should i mąkę the heat sink hot or no

#

@viral cape the heat sink slowly getting hotter

#

Shouldnit

#

Its ender 3 v3 ke heat sink btw (no shit Sherlock its a ender 3 v3 ke heat sink beuvase its the printer )

It should heat up over time when you turn on the hotend

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

Ok but should i unscrewd the fan

#

Because its touchingn
The heat sink

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

Yes

#

And keep it away because you want no cooling

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

I just had it unplugrd

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

It thats not working you can try a hot air gun but that could melt the cables /connectors

#

Which makes it a last ditch efford

fierce shore Feb 28, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

No the heat sink will gest hotter

#

Bruh they didnt give me s screw driver so i could unscrewd it

#

O Hope unscrewing it wont void my waranty

Don't worry about the warrenty

viral cape Feb 28, 2024, 5:43 PM

Let me say it that way creality is known for flodding the market with low to mindtier 3d printers and releasing a new version every 2 to 5 months i say. They are not known for quality or customerservice.. heck their own firmware works only on roughly 25% of the printer its made for due chinesium bs

#

Or to market it more positivly.

fast rose Feb 28, 2024, 5:44 PM

#

You can fix it, don't worry

fierce shore Feb 29, 2024, 5:45 AM

#

Yeah i heated it up without the heat sink and after heating to 220celcius i just Pulled it out

#

But thank you

#

Did IT yesterday

viral cape Feb 29, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

At least its fixed now 🙂 3 things to do / check though to avoid it in the future.

#

Never turn the printer off when it just finished its print. Remaining heat can cause a blob

#

Check the endscript of your slicer. Sometimes or better with 90% certainty creality has the wrong retraction distance in the end format. On a direct drive its max 2 mm

#

And last but not least ... check the retraction distance for printing in your slicer

#so i think i fu**ed my 3d printer
