thank you for the short video. too many videos on this platform having 8 min long intros and 2 min long solutions. my nozzle wasn't even clogged, i simply watched because it was concise and i learned something.
just stumbled upon this. No flashy ADHD 20-something babbling around for 5 minutes before even starting, interrupted by 3 product placements and dragging it out for 20 minutes. Just pure, condensed information and knowledge. You sir, have earned my subscription in the best possible way.
@@Mr_SoulzZ Yeah, I do that as well. So long as you don't sit there heating it for an hour. You're just heating the tip of the allen key, but not long enough for the heat to spread to the other end of the allen key. You'll know to stop heating as soon as the tip turns red.
Wow - that hex key trick was like magic!! I spent 30 minutes trying to get a clog out and no progress - then heated the hex key, let it cool then pulled the filament out easily. Thank you so much!!
By far the best video on the subject. Three types of clogs in three minutes. I just watched a 10 min cold pull video and they didn't even explain it right...
I should be getting my X1-Carbon tomorrow and is new to 3D printing. Saw this video and loved how straight to the point this was. As I am someone who likes to be knowledgeable about issues like these, I am very grateful for this. Thank you!
I should have come to you first. Everyone was saying take apart the AMS, look at the Filament sensor, do a hot extrude but they never mentioned putting the filament directly in the without the AMS to clear it. It worked. Jesus you saved me I wasted a week damaging the plastic trying to pry everything else apart. Props to you.
No other tutorial out there mentions how to get a piece of broken filament like you - especially if its deep into the hot end. Using the hot hex key was the perfect trick, absolutely thank you.
I only had my X1C 2 days when the Bambu supplied PLA test filament broke off at the heatsink hole. I heated the nozzle to 250 degree and used a 1.5mm Allen wrench to force the filament through the heat block tube, which was easy enough to do, then I used a 0.4mm nozzle cleaner, so the last part of your video was very helpful. I also have a Prusa Mk4S and I am accustomed to hot end service at least weekly. I was hoping it would be a much less frequent occurrence with the X1C. My wife has an X1C and has only needed to replace her hot end once in 2 years! I must be hot end cursed ;)
Thanks alot for the vid!! :) Got the last of theese three things on my FIRST print on my X1C. One question, how can you touch the hotend when reached 220??
For the last example, I use my old guitar strings to pull cold clogs. I take the 5 or 6th top guitar string and heat it up with a lighter until red hot, then push it on the stuck filament. Wait a few minutes until it cools and then pull the clog out. WORKS LIKE MAGIC !!!
After watching so many videos, your video was the only one that helped and it was simply because you got straight to the point and also had us heating the extruder to 260, and also told us its ok to pull a little! Thank youuuu!
Little in doubt if I have a clogged nozzle. Don’t have a heating tool, but will try the cold pull, and re-calibrate etc. Today I had like 5 failed prints in total. Sometimes part of the print would be ok, and then suddenly it would fail. Also cleaned the gold textured pei plate, but fail also happened on the cold plate when trying this instead. A number of issues. Support coming lose, a print object coming lose but in this case there was kind of a thick string between one part holding on to the plate, and another that had then come lose. Using default PLA and plate profiles / temps, and have printed a number of successful prints since I got the printer 2 - 3 weeks ago. All PLA printing. A bit confusing as some issues seems to suggest maybe the plate needs a proper clean, even though I clean after every print, and another thing point to the temperature, but again default settings. Hotend 220 C, Cold plate 35 C or textured PEI 55 C. Opened the door on my X1C to keep chassis temp around 36 C.
@@techwithkramer Yeah tried a number of things, but printed fine with same filament for other prints, and then just failure with any settings. Anyway both pei and cold plate soap cleaned. Now I just did all maintenance steps, and cold filament pull etc. Next trying to dry one filament and tomorrow I will try to print something again.
Thanks for explaining that. It was still plugged after doing both these procedures, so I heated up a guitar string (0.011") and shoved it in the end of the nozzle and that was enough to remove the blockage.
Thanks, a neat method to removing a broken bit of filament that worked perfectly. I would recommend using something other than a hex key, it ruins the temper on the tool. I used the back end of a small drill bit held with a craft knife handle.
I used the unclog method when unscrewing the hot end, and removed a large clog, but It still won't extrude, I'm considering there might be more clog inside deeper and I need to do this again. Is this correct?
Yes, where the tube gets into the holder, there is a ring on top of the holder. So you push down that ring while you pull the PTFE tube out. Hope that helps.
I have some and they say the particles will be sticking on this, but I think there is not much if any difference using regular PLA for a cold pull. So after using it up, I wouldn’t buy it again.
I feel this quick video is an upgrade over the Bambu wiki. Before the Bambu P1S, I had an Ender 3. I tried so many of the TH-cam Uncle's Special Recipes on that machine that I started fearing messing up the machine while trying to fix it. Bambu seems a lot more solid in its approach to servicing. But then seeing how Bambu's own wiki showed using a lighter on nozzle with the sensor and its wiring still attached, I got flashbacks... Glad to have found this video. I especially like the feeder on the nozzle end so I do not have to guess how much muscle force to use while feeding to see if my nozzle is still clogged. Now nice circles mean clean nozzle.
Exellentte vidéo , j''avais fais la technique de la clé à l'aine chauffée mais ça à rebouché encore après . En faisant la technique du nettoyage à 100° j'ai vu mon filament noir ressortir avec des impurté blanche ... Cette vidéo m'a bien aidée .
I've got a nozzle with an 'engineering material' stuck in it...going to try the hot hex-key technique! I've been playing with Tullomer...very mixed results.
0:38 What if neither extruding or retracting works? I've both pushed and pulled the filament. A little bit at first up to a bit more forceful than I'd like. It won't budge.
Thank you for covering the technique of removing filament that has broken off flush at the inlet of the print head, I've been unable to clear mine and will give this a try.
Thank you for this video! I got clogged last night and had to figure out what to do. I ended up removing my nozzle and using my hot air rework station to heat the nozzle and push the old filament out. This is a LOT easier.
A1 had a clicking nozzle, cleared the blockage by lowering the temp as described! Thanks mate I tried a lot of other things but your instructions were a great help. I did lower temp to 90 though.
i think my nozzle gets clogged by the extruder that i did get with my printer. what should i do? becouse i had iron/magnetic particles inside my cloggs. every 30 min its clogged ( i print with bambulab basic pla)? thanks for sharing everything with your videos.
@techwithkramer could you place the link on my comment it could help people and me also if i directly get your next video about it. Its really frustrating cant print anything just got my printer for 2 weeks. :(
I hade huge issues with TPU and the 0.4mm nozzle at the beginning, but now, when the filament is 100% dry I go to the upper limit of the temperature and remove the speeds to about 60mm/s. When the temperature was not at the upper limit, big prints started to fail after a few hours, it seems there is some build up in the nozzle for some reason. So what I do to avoid that is printing a smaller part with a new material, and increasing the temperature by 5°C during the print, to find the max. temperature till the surface gets bad. That's the temperature I am using to keep the nozzle clean.
Thank you- i was able to temove my first clog with the hot allen wrench trick, but i do have a question. I tried your first tip but i could not pull that white PTE(?) tub out at all. It is really stuck in there. Am i supposed to loosen a screw or something? Please pardon me, i am brand new. Ive watched every video i could find and read the wiki files with no luck.
Thank you so much for this video. Exactly my problem, solutions straight explained! Unfortunately mine was solution 3 with the broken filament. I used a nail intead of the allen key which is easier to heat up. Pulled it out with pliers. BC the nozzle was still clogged after this, I cranked up the temperature to 250C and pushed some portions of filament forth and back. After it came out on the nozzle, I performed your 100C-trick. Now it works... I hope for a long time! Now I'm jealous on your X1 display. The P1 one is... well, not that comfy...
Thank you for explaining it very clearly. I thought I had done almost everything there was to do concerning fixing problems on the Bambu x1. Boy, I was definitely wrong.!! This helped thank you very much!
I just ordered an X1 yesterday. Looking forward to getting it and taking my 3D printing to the next level. I've been using Creality Ender printers for 3 years. I'll will keep my 3S1 and use it as a secondary machine. Just subscribed to your channel.
I cannot thank you enought to show us that trick, i spent like an hour trying to figure out, how tf i would unclog this if the needle doesnot nothing, simple and smart trick, i hate myself for not thinkgina bout that. Thankts!
I had this error pop up during a print. Is there any way to change the temp while it's paused on the print? It's not taking commands. Do I have to stop it and completely start over?
Unfortunately no, at least not to my knowledge. You need to cancel the print to do any manipulation like heating or extrude. It would be nice if we could at least heat it up to 280 and try to push the filament through… but there is no option for this (yet).
Thank you very much indeed. Your video saved my life :) I had broken filament problem . I unclogged my nozzle with your heated allen key method. Thanks again
I’ve had my P1S for a week now and had to unclog the nozzle like 6 times. Very frustrating… What could I be doing wrong? I’ve been using only PLA, in 220° and the PEI at 60°. I’m generally printing at 200 speed. Any tips?
I don’t have a cold plate. I’m using a PLA filament from a brazilian brand called 3D lab. It’s pretty standard. In the last couple days I tried to print with 60° just the first layer and then use 55° for the others. I also kept the door of the enclosure open. So far, no cloggins. 🙏
@@techwithkramer thnaks! i did but it was stuck. I had to unload the filament with Bambu first. Sorry noob question. Once the "unload" is performed then you can press the black ring down and it 'll come out
unscrewed the nozzle, heated up that little hex thang with a torch, shoved it right through and now we're back in business!!! Thank you infinitely!!!! THANK YOUUUUU SO MUCH!
@2:38 isn't it supposed to look like that because the filament cutter is just above it? I had a clog IN the extruder so when i took out the nozzle mine looked like that as well but clog was not there. So just heads up anyone experiencing a clog you might have a small broken piece inside the extruder not in the nozzle.
This situation is when you do have a clog in the hot end - mostly caused by heat creep, so the issue is that the heat gets too high up and melts too much filament too high up. But yes, if the nozzle is fine, the next step is to take the extruder apart, you are correct. Thank you for bringing it up.
I finally got a jam after a few months with the p1p. It was WAY worse than this though. idk how it got so bad, but had to run cleaning filament through and finally got it. Did like 3 cold pulls before that, nothing down in there that I could see...idk what happened but it was an odd kind of filament like possibly abrasive and has some added chemicals to it so I think they got clogged in there. The odd thing is I printed with it a lot with my stock nozzle, but once I put hardened steel in there, then it clogged. Really hope I don't have to change my slicer settings for ALL my products just because I put hardened steel nozzle in :/
If you are printing PLA and high heat on the bed, this would do it. Try using the cold plate or the textured pei plate. These are less likely to get heat creep.
thank you for the short video. too many videos on this platform having 8 min long intros and 2 min long solutions. my nozzle wasn't even clogged, i simply watched because it was concise and i learned something.

Pro tip. Heat the hex and leave it in the nozzle to cool down.
then twist and you'll hear a pop then slide out the stuck filament
Excellent !!! Perfect, short, sweet, to the point, and packed with information! Thank you.

Well, the best is not to touch it with your bare hands LOL. I use a folded paper towel, but some gloves might work better and be safer.
I never even thought to do the manual extrude to push it through. You're a lifesaver. Thanks!

Can you get the filament through the extruder? Sometimes the extruder gets clogged due to heat creep.

You are very welcome! Happy printing.
Could you please explain how to remove the ptfe tube more specifically? Ive got a P1S, is it the same?
Yes, where the tube gets into the holder, there is a ring on top of the holder. So you push down that ring while you pull the PTFE tube out.
Hope that helps.

@@techwithkramer If I hit stop to fix the issue, is there a way to still resume the print? Or am I SOL
You’re doomed, sorry….
@@techwithkramer thank your for your responses and the great video!
You can tell your experience by the way you explained everything, thank you so much
Thank you for the nice compliment!
#3 was what I was looking for. Thanks for the solution.
I was losing my mind trying to solve this problem. 2:19 was the solution. I was really freaking out.
Glad you have been able to fix it!
Is there a way to do this while the printer is paused? I'd like to heat up and extrude without losing my print if possible
Unfortunately no, at least not to my knowledge. You need to cancel the print to do any manipulation like heating or extrude. It would be nice if we could at least heat it up to 280 and try to push the filament through… but there is no option for this (yet).
That was clean and concise - well done - learned 3 things today. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much indeed. Your video saved my life :) I had broken filament problem . I unclogged my nozzle with your heated allen key method. Thanks again
Excellent!
Thank you for this! Appreciated!
My pleasure!
As always - excellent video! You're the best help on TH-cam for Bambu Lab printers and more! Thank you.
Thank you! Very nice of you to say.
Solved my problem at my X1C with 2weeks only. Great Video!
Great to hear!
The last solution is straightforward and effective. Will try to do
Great 👍🏻
Great video, the third method worked very good at my first try
Great, glad you’re back up and running again!
Best overview on this I've seen. Great job and thanks!
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve had my P1S for a week now and had to unclog the nozzle like 6 times. Very frustrating…
What could I be doing wrong?
I’ve been using only PLA, in 220° and the PEI at 60°. I’m generally printing at 200 speed.
Any tips?
Do you have a cold plate you could use? What brand of filament are you using?
I don’t have a cold plate. I’m using a PLA filament from a brazilian brand called 3D lab. It’s pretty standard.
In the last couple days I tried to print with 60° just the first layer and then use 55° for the others. I also kept the door of the enclosure open. So far, no cloggins. 🙏
My PTFE tube is stuck? I don't want to pull too hard or I'll break it? How do you remove it?
You need to press the black ring down while pulling the tube up.
@@techwithkramer thnaks! i did but it was stuck. I had to unload the filament with Bambu first. Sorry noob question. Once the "unload" is performed then you can press the black ring down and it 'll come out
With cold pulls I have always pushed the filament when at the lower temoerature to makesure the crud sticks to the filament
Fantastic explanation. This video helped me a lot!!!
Glad it helped.
unscrewed the nozzle, heated up that little hex thang with a torch, shoved it right through and now we're back in business!!! Thank you infinitely!!!! THANK YOUUUUU SO MUCH!
Excellent, welcome back!
@2:38 isn't it supposed to look like that because the filament cutter is just above it?
I had a clog IN the extruder so when i took out the nozzle mine looked like that as well but clog was not there. So just heads up anyone experiencing a clog you might have a small broken piece inside the extruder not in the nozzle.
This situation is when you do have a clog in the hot end - mostly caused by heat creep, so the issue is that the heat gets too high up and melts too much filament too high up. But yes, if the nozzle is fine, the next step is to take the extruder apart, you are correct. Thank you for bringing it up.
Instant subscribe thank you for being straight to the point.
Thanks for explaining this, short an to the point.
You are very welcome.
Well explained, thank you! The conciseness of the presented solutions is especially appreciated when you need such knowledge ASAP. :)
Great, glad it was helpful. Thank you for the nice feedback!
Awesome! The cold pull fixed my issue that I'd been struggling with for a week. Thank you!!
Great to hear!
Very helpful, well explained and properly shown.
Thank you
I finally got a jam after a few months with the p1p. It was WAY worse than this though. idk how it got so bad, but had to run cleaning filament through and finally got it. Did like 3 cold pulls before that, nothing down in there that I could see...idk what happened but it was an odd kind of filament like possibly abrasive and has some added chemicals to it so I think they got clogged in there. The odd thing is I printed with it a lot with my stock nozzle, but once I put hardened steel in there, then it clogged. Really hope I don't have to change my slicer settings for ALL my products just because I put hardened steel nozzle in :/
If you are printing PLA and high heat on the bed, this would do it. Try using the cold plate or the textured pei plate. These are less likely to get heat creep.
@@techwithkramer I use textured pei but 65 degrees on bed, PLA
How do you remove the PTFE tube???
There is a ring you push in while you pull the tube. So with one hand you push the ring down, with the other you pull the tube.
@@techwithkramer Thank!!
