black sticky stuff from the hotend - please advise
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 2:49 am
Hello,
I have been printing for a few days lets say about 800 meters of filament on all of my prints.
2 days ago I saw a black spot on one of my prints and when I check the nozzel head I saw black sticky stuff comes from gap where the nozzle connects to hotend body.
I tool out the nozzle and all the side of it was one big mess. alot of hard old filament.
I remove the tube and cleaned the side of the hotend. I took a new nozzel with the tube I had from my spare hotend part and assenbled it.
I printed since yester maybe about 5-7 hours of printing and todays morning I say some black stuff starting to come out all over as you can see the picturs.
why is that and how can I solve it? I cant disassemble the head every 2 days to clean it. the printer is totaly new.
PLease adevise i must get some help
