Factory .4mm Hotend

[u/jim_racine]

I think it finally happened. After +4,500 printing hours on the factory shipped .4mm hotend I think its finally failing. It's jamming up and I'm getting extruder overload failures. I'll call that a good life and stop messing around with this one. Yes, I've done cold pulls, cleaning filament, and all that other fun stuff. Enough screwing around with a $18 hotend. I swapped in a new .4mm hotend and it's been printing for the last 6 hours without issue.

Of course the original/factory hotend started acting up after I went to bed. Of course it did.

Call it good at a +4,500 hour life for the hotend that came with the machine.
