kd8bxp,

Well, I think I've run out of ideas to get filament out of the hot end of a old 3D printer I have..... worse correct hot end cost more then the printer did when it was new. I might just try a different hot end, but it would be really nice to find one that at least has the mounting holes in the right place.

I am really thinking the printer has just become parts.

Maybe I can take a very small drill bit, and try to drill out the filament.

The printer is a Wanhao Powerspec i3 plus

@kd8bxp would acetone help to melt the stuck filament? Plus plunger-type solder sucker?

kd8bxp,

@M0CUV someone else suggest acetone, and I'm not sure - but it is worth a try I just need to get some acetone and try it.

The solder sucker is a new idea for this problem thou 🙂
