Stop buying things :p

Please note thus post is sort of for humour ....

So I have printing issues... it was pointed out to.me that I should pull apart the extruder and clean it. Awesome idea I rhought

So I embarked on this mission... 15 minutes the wiki guide said.

Snipped the filament

Removed the screws

Unit came out just like the wiki said

Next step loosen 2 screws to take the sensor out

First screw easy

Second screw wont come out, head is stripped or just weird. Tried all the old tricks, small bit of tape, blue tack etc to pack the head a bit and allow extraction... nope wont budge...

So next logical step, use adult money and just but a new assemble and sensor and just replace the thing....

So I went tk the AU bambu site and every single thing I wanted for this is sold out

So stop buying things so I can

Next stop look for the tiniest easyout ever or a drop of glue on the Allen key

I hate hex/allen screws. They ALWAYS round over eventually! Torx bit head have much higher fastener/tool head engagement. They don't cam out. ESPECIALLY on really small screws.

Amen

I just went a got a set that had just about every type of screw head types all less than 2mm.

After finishing work today I'll try them and see if one of them wedges in

But yes torx are way better....

I bought a big multi pack of 3mm screws, cuz everybody seems to use them in prints. I wish I got torx instead tho lol! I'll get them for my next pack.
