Thanks for this, encouraged me to try to do this myself, and was successful. Thanks much!!

Thanks, very useful. Not had that sort of jam yet, but now I know when it does...

Thanks a lot I´ve been strugling with this filament not extruding for days, and this might be it

Overall good video and easy to understand. I like the fact you get fast and to the point. Some people turn a how to video into a novel about everything else.

Thanks for the video. One thing ill say for getting it back together. Yes it just snaps together seemingly magically, but one thing to keep in mind while trying to get the two parts back. The plate has to go on evenly. If you have one side further in than the other it wont go. After you get the bottom left past the frame, look at your orientation to see where you need to move the plate. You might be able to put a tool into the hole in the center and use that to guide it on. I'm sure I'll have another jam eventually that I can give that a try.

Thanks for all your great videos--big fan. I started all of a sudden getting clogging on all my prints with my Genius. Filament just stopped coming through anywhere from 10% to 50% of the job during EVERY print, and in prints that had worked fine many times before. Typically the printer was continuing, "printing" in thin air with no filament coming out. I found that I could often get the filament to start flowing again by pushing the filament through from the top by hand (although the print was already ruined). So far this sounds like the situation I´ve seen in many videos on KZfaq, but wait... 1. I´m using an all metal heatbreak, so no PTFE anywhere down where the filament is molten, and I changed the heatbreak and the nozzle several times. Also, this happens with 0.4mm and 0.6mm nozzles. I´ve also done several cold pulls, even with nylon. 2. Whenever this happened the extruder gear was just wearing away the filament as it turned in one place until I stopped it (that´s where all that ash-like dust comes from). I tried adjusting the spring tension on the extruder gear, but teeth marks on the filament could be very deep or hardly visible and it didn't make any difference. 3. I used filaments I had successfully used before (all PLA), even new ones still in their sealed plastic bags. 4. I reduced the retraction from 5mm to 2mm. 5. Of course, each time I checked that the filament spool was spinning freely. So, anyone have any comments or suggestions?

thanks this will be helpful. My X1 arrived today

Which silicon sock is that? Can't seem to find any that fit.

Three bolts behind the heatsink? I had four? Also one is crooked now, so I can't remove it.

you dont have problems with your heatsink being vertical like that and cooling the part? also what screwdriver are you using? big hands here and those little screwdrivers are a pain for me to hold on to lol.

Hi. Well, in most cases I do it differently: a) heat up the nozzle b) screw the nozzle out c) get a thin (!) wire or drillbit or such (max. 1.5mm) and insert in slowly from the bottom. d) that will push the remaining filament out of the way a little and melt in to the piece of wire/drillbit/alienkey. e) shiftly pull it down and out. The remaining filament will come with it. f) while still hot: put the nozzle back, checking if it comes all the way to the heatbreak g) remain printing. This can be done mid-print when changing filament also.

damn that looks fiddly and annoying as hell.
