I got a new Biqu H2V2 for my Ender 3 pro , since myold hotend started getting unreliable and that was a great excuse for yet another upgrade.
I wasn't happy with the carriage holder I printed, so I wanted to print a new one. After afew hours of printing, I needed to abandon one part, since it was incredibly messy with blobs of PLA gooped on the print. Since I needed the new carriage mount, I didn't think anything off it and simply abandoned that part and continued the other ones.
Today, I saw that the heating block is completely gooped up with PLA (see pictures). So now, I got two questions:
- How should I remove that gunk? I was thinking o| carefully peeling of everything without the silicone sleeve while the hotend is at a low PLA-bending temp, like 150°C, or 175°C.
- What caused this? Flowrate too high (the prints look the part)? Too fast extrusion? Heatcreep?
Thanks in advance. (:
Honestly, I do it every time I switch filaments.
It doesn't cost much time and you get a nice clean nozzle for a perfect print.
Same, actually.
