Clearing an Extruder Clog
1.
If the extruder is making a clicking noise and/or is not
extruding filament properly, you likely have an extruder
nozzle clog.
This can happen when foreign material enters the extrud-
er and blocks the tiny extruder nozzle.
PLA or PET filament is required for the unclog procedure.
2.
First, set the extruder temperature to 240C and wait
for it to get near the target temperature.
3.
Switch on the extruder disable switch on the front of
the printer. The little red light should turn on.
This means the stepper motor controlling the extruder
can rotate freely.
4.
Pull up on the filament going into the extruder, this
should remove the filament.
5.
Use a piece of the music wire from the starter kit and
carefully insert it through the tip of the nozzle. Try and
push it all the way through the extruder assembly and out
the top.
Pull the wire completely through the nozzle assembly.
