your a life saver, absolutly new to these machines and after a week i had given up on it, couldn't figure it out. A simple clogged extruder and nozzle, now I can finally get back to printing random stuff haha!!
Super clear and useful. After my nozzle started clogging (It was giving me weak and easily breakable prints) I used your tutorial and I cleaned up my hotend, changed the bowden tube and cleaned the nozzle without even burning my finger :) Thank you.
Community service announcement: When you take the cover off, ensure you place it securely on the printer rail while you do the rest. Mine ended up hanging without me noticing and I melted one of the clips that keeps it on the printer head. It still goes on okay, but 😢
My Ender 3 v2 neo went ~decent 30 prints, then got a filament break before boden tube, didn't notice immediately and print went on without filament for a few minutes. I marked the teflon tube with a marker right where it goes into the pneumatic holder on the extruder, in order to know later how far it was originally in. While cleaning I noticed I couldn't get my teflon tube didn't go all the way through, just a few cms, like it was from factory, got rid of some clogg with a tiny screwdriver, pushed the teflon tube in as far as I could, really just a few cms and Jack's complete lack of surprise the symptoms started right again, I guess this tube never was in up til the nozzle and there is an imperfection of machining I could see with a flash light inside the extruder making it impossible to put the tube in that far. The dude that put this together during manufacturing was definitely not doing his job correctly nor did QC, I'm gutted and I have no motivation whatsoever for the cluster**** typical after sales service vibe. I've just ordered another extruder, will check immediately if this one is manufactured right or will send the part back before doing anything else. Sure have buyer's remorse and will not forget it when considering brand on next printer.
Is there a kit for these tools? The filament has been sticking to the nozzle and it looks loose, any suggestions? I’ve been told to clean it with a brass brush and it will work then. Im not sure that will solve all the problems
Is it supposed to be 230 celsious when you are pushing the teflon tube all the way through to remove impurities? Wouldnt that melt the teflon tube? Update: it went through with 90 celsius 🤷♂️ I was afraid 230c would melt it
would be nice if we had those 2 tools in the first place, I cant replace the nozzle at all without burning my hands and fingers. So for now I got to buy these new tools and hope i can still replace the nozzle decently. :/
@@gooby7197 How so? Because a whole year later I make money printing stuff and I still stand by my point, some of those tools used in that video should be INCLUDED for new users. use YOUR brain before you reply. thanks.
When they put the Bowden tube back in they look like they measure the Bowden tube to the hot end but then they shove it deeper than measured. which way is the correct way?

I have seen a few vids and they always pre-heat the nozzle according to the temperature of the filament you have installed, I guess this will make snapping of filament less likely, and the nozzle may have solid filament in the threads which would mean applying more pressure, and requiring more twisting stress on the heat block.
Would be nice if this shit actually came with the printer because it's not like most people have the exact fucking size of spanner to both grip and fit in the space just lying around.
Maybe you could actually include the two tools you used for the nozzle replacement and not give us a goddamn open ended wrench for the nozzle and *nothing* for the heater block.

Been struggling for 2 days til I check this video, and ya got exact same issue as you.
same issue here!!!the tube is not passing throught like the video!!!
Great video, super helpful and allowed me to remove a large clog behind my nozzle
Yep, that walked me through the process and the printer is back in action without too much in the way of cursing, screaming or appeals to god.
thank you! My hot end was clogged and this helped to fix the issue.

My problem is that no matter how much I pull, the filament doesn't come out.
Very helpful video... thank you very much

Update: it went through with 90 celsius 🤷♂️ I was afraid 230c would melt it
Don't worry, it is a high temperature resistant material, 230 ℃ in its tolerable range

Mine came with every single tool that he used in the video I feel like you might have got jipped@@thatsleepycat4445
@@thatsleepycat4445 fr lol they should include the necesary stuff like that o maintain printers, and ignore the haters
Good video. It looks easy to maintain.

@Creality After-sale My filament is seriously clogged and will NOT come out HELP!!
What kind of allen wrench did you use for that bolt on the back? I have tried every allen wrench i have and it nothing fits.

To actually answer this question, i used the 2.0 that came with the printer
Dont just cut the tube snap off a tiny section and then pull the stuck piece with pliers/ push with material.
gracias ya no sabia que hacer, ya le habia cambiado la boquilla
Do I have to preheat the nozzle to replace it?
I have seen a few vids and they always pre-heat the nozzle according to the temperature of the filament you have installed, I guess this will make snapping of filament less likely, and the nozzle may have solid filament in the threads which would mean applying more pressure, and requiring more twisting stress on the heat block.
Preheat to clean it, but to remove it better cold in my opinion
Yes, metal expands as its heated up. That's why you'll only get a tight fit if you install the nozzle when it's heated up (240 degrees ideally)
My setup (stock) looks backwards of yours, like the whole hotend was turned around for install. Is this normal?
Same here, did you find a solution to fix your problem?
Would be nice if this shit actually came with the printer because it's not like most people have the exact fucking size of spanner to both grip and fit in the space just lying around.
I feel your pain ... 🤬
@Cédric lol yeah, I ended up needing to grind one down so it could fit.
I feel that. Luckily I have all kind of tools, but I had to use channel locks to hold the square part still.
«Open-end wrench» and «sleeve to remove nozzle» are not included. The included wrench that has the nozzle size is shitty.
Thank you this is so helpful
I wish this printer had more support, like upgrade parts.
Thank you so much for this
Awesome! Thank You!
Where I can buy this key that can remove nozzle?
Any hardware store in the world.
Please, provide transcription or audio. Not that sound again, please. I've heard it in over thousands of tutorials. But thank you
DO NOT USE THE TEFLON TUBE TO CLEAN IMPURITIES. Mine got stuck and I had to cut it out of the nozzle, that was the worst 30 minutes of my life
Was the heat on? Need the heat on to do that in my experience or you might catch cold pla.
Maybe you could actually include the two tools you used for the nozzle replacement and not give us a goddamn open ended wrench for the nozzle and *nothing* for the heater block.
Burned myself 3 times doing it with your stock tools. Thanks Creality.
I think i did something wrong lol filament wont even come out now
Dude this machine is pissing me off so badly istg 😭
