This seems odd, a clog can be from several reasons, one of which is debris or contaminants. In this case the particles are burned and mixed with filament and can not extrude, so I don't see the benefit of shoving a metal tool down, unless the idea is to use brute force to force it out. The best way is to use a pin that is the size of the nozzle opening and break up the clog from the end of the nozzle- with the head up to temp. There has to be a better way because these nozzles are crazy expensive. You should be able to remove the assembly then replace just the tip for a buck or two.
I had part of the filament stuck inside the nozzle , so i had to stick an hot pin inside the top part of the nozzle and pull the filament put once the pin cooled down and bonded with the stuck filament
You don't even need to take out the nozzle, just loosen the side screw, heat up the nozzle and jam that stick down not too hard. The loosening of the screw won't take down the tool but just to be safe try not to jam it too hard down, and yes it will be hot so maybe wear a glove if you're worried. Putting the nozzle back in is so fucking annoying so don't even remove it at all. Also, I used a needle to push around the inside of the nozzle to check if any obstructions.
This is horrifyingly wrong. Do NOT click loading with the unclogging tool insidr as it will drag it way too far in & can cause damage. Instead, turn it off & then push in the tool.
@@devajain7078 How did I fix what? Clogs? Follow the guide in the video right up until you are ready to push in the tool. once you have the nozzle hot, turn off the printer and shove the spike tool down hard, then watch the gooey goodness pour out.
What size tool was used for the set screw? The set that come with mine has 3 sizes and none seem to fit... Of course the music instead of verbal instruction leads me to believe you're not very responsible for any content you produce... Lets see if you respond LMBO
1. How much do you looosen the screw 2. at what point after the loading starts do you insert the unclogging tool 3. What the heck do you do when it starts sucking the tool in? do I pull it out? 4. Is this video made for experts who have thousands of hours of experience 3d printing and if so why was it even made to begin with
This video seems to be a reupload of flashforge's unlisted support videos. At least you could find it this eay. I don't know why all the FF support vids are unlisted and unsearchable, but FF support will link you to the originals if you have to email them with an issue
Then you are using cheap low-grade filament? The tool works perfectly for me. FF, Sunlu, Anycubic and Eryone filaments work well for me. Only one clog so far after a cheap bargain basement reject filament called Pinuotu, I highly recommend no-one touches them. A drill bit will damage inside the heatsink chamber and cause clogs more often. But, your printer, your choice.
great video. the thing with the screw on the left side was a really important tip!

Thank you! You saved my a$$ today!! Back to printing!!
FYI,,, Just be careful with handling the tool after you extract it as the tip area will be HOT!! I found out the hard way. LOL
Me too just now LOL it started sucking it in and I turned it off cus I got scared 😭😭😭

good vid but that is not what mine looks like
Teşekkürler..

Pretty sure that why you have to loose the side screw.
How did you fix that?
@@CooperCooper-fp1cr It still grinds, even with the screw loosened. I prefer my extruders to last longer.

Great idea to power off the machine. This worked much better than FlashForge's method 👍
What if the tube won't come out?

it's a H2 hex. I suspect you found that out by now but didn't come back to tell anyone else LMBO
Why is this video the only information on unclogging a 3d printer that’s been out for months? I will never buy anything from flashforge ever again
1. How much do you looosen the screw
2. at what point after the loading starts do you insert the unclogging tool
3. What the heck do you do when it starts sucking the tool in? do I pull it out?
4. Is this video made for experts who have thousands of hours of experience 3d printing and if so why was it even made to begin with
@@devinsussman The tool will not retract if you loosen the screw first
@@Timo-tq9zkI loosened it and it still grabbed my tool

Вот так Я окончательно всё и забил , вредное видео.
Lol not as easy as they make it out to be.
i had to use a very small drill bit to drill out the clog and then it came out like a pimple..
