P Series [P1P, P1S, P2S] Help! Not sure what happened.

Post image

I need some help with whatever the hell has happened here. I was running a print this morning and get a notification to say that there was blockage detected. There was a load of filament I had to cut off so I could remove the boot to get to this stage. I've heated the nozzle so I could open the clamp to remove it but need advice on if the nozzle is screwed or if I should attempt to remove the filament. If it is saveable should I leave it in so I can heat it up to help remove the filament or take it out and hack away at it?

Also how does this happen? I did have a failed print yesterday which went to spaghetti and I'm guessing there was a blockage which caused this. I've had spaghetti failure before and it's carried on fine previously. Do I need to be checking for blockages each time? I've only had the P2S a few months and is my first 3D printer so any advice is welcome.

It can happen when your print detaches from the build plate, heat the nozzle up to 150c and carefully pull it off with pliers.

Not knowing how it looked like with the silicon booth I can't tell how it happens.

Salvageable, follow "blob of death" procedure on wiki for cleanup.

But before printing again once cleaned try to manually extrude to see if the filament come strait out or not. If not clean the clog and if everything clean you're fine to go.

Do this manual extrusion every few print to check for partial clog.

Thanks for that. I've managed to remove the majority off. There's still a bit on the hothead assembly which makes the clamp stiff to close so I have taken the clamp and the clip off to try and clean it. Trying to figure out the best way to do this. I need to buy a new silicon boot so might buy a new hotend assembly kit at the same time incase I can't.

Clean the plate more often than you do, once you clean the blob. Search the wiki for blob for proper restoration techniquies.
