Thanks for posting this video. Very informative and helpful. I have the Ender 3 Neo and Ender 3 Max Neo. So far, I haven't had any issues. I really like them. I've been wondering about the newer hot end setup. Your detailed video answered all of my questions. When it comes time for maintenance, I have Capricorn tubing, nozzles and fitting connectors ready to go (6 printers, so...) :).

Good guide, But I have a question: I did everything from your guide but when I print the filament doesn't extrude and I checked the extruder motor is working but I doesn't pull filament. I tried to pre-heat pla at 215 and I tried from the menu to pull 100 mm filament , but the filament stops after 25/30 mm and the extruder motor continues to work.

I’ve watched a few of your videos on this topic, and they have been very helpful, thank you. A related question, if you have the time to answer. If not, no problem. I’ve had to fully disassemble the hot end including removing the heat break. After much searching of similar videos, I haven’t been able to find guidance regarding the proper installation of the heat break itself. Should it be more loose in the heater block and not touching the back of the nozzle, or should it threaded into the heater block so it physically touches the back of the nozzle? Take care.

Thanks a lot for this video. I had a perfectly well working Ender 3 v2 Neo, 40 prints no problem until I had a filament break before it enters the PTFE tubing at the push mechanism. Didn't notice it immediately and the printer continued printing without any more filament pushing through. So extrusion completely blocked after many cold pulls and tries to clean nozzle etc. I then tried yours and similar methods but I have the problem that I cannot get the PTFE tubing more than 1.5 to 2cms in, so I cannot have it go all the way through, only thing I managed to do is to get a huge clogg out of the extruder with a thin screwdriver, completely cleaned the nozzle and reassembled and the symptoms continued again. Until I watched your video I didn't know the PTFE had to go all the way through, but still tried again and even with 250°C I can't get the PTFE tube more than 2 cm in. What's going on? What can I try? Is it possible than some part of the PTFE tubing got stuck or melted inside the extruder heat block? What are the 2 grab screws in front on the heater block for, do you maybe need to unscrew those to get the PTFE tube all the way through? What else could I be doing wrong or be missing? Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

@stevefpv4669
@stevefpv4669 Жыл бұрын
@ragcrafter yeah I solved the problem, the root cause was a bad manufactured part (metal tube that's inside the cooling block and the pfte tube gets inserted into). One thing I forgot to mention is that before I removed the ptfe the first time after the problems began I marked the edge with a permanent marker so I know from fact that the ptfe tube never was in deeper than a few cms at best from factory. It's a miracle the printer worked so long to begin with. Bad manufacturing, bad assembly, bad QC I guess, the whole program. When I looked down into the hole of the metal tube the pfte tube gets inserted into it was clear the ptfe tube couldn't pass, over 1-2 mm of height where the metal was deformed inside so that the passthrough diameter was reduced about 2cm in, so ptfe tube couldn't pass (100% sure it wasn't old ptfe tube remains), so I drilled slowly into it using a drill bit that was just the diameter of the metal tube, making sure I just drill that deep and not damage the threads for the nozzle, metal shred came out, then the ptfe tube ofc could pass, and the printer worked fine from there. That said, I didn't wanna leave it like this on the long run, cannot be good nor that safe so I ordered a new Creality Ender 3 v2 Neo Hotend set and replaced the whole thing, had to open electronics spot to connect the new wires and pull those wires through the sheats as well as removing the old ones obviously and ofc, the replacement part I got didn't have that problem and from the get go the pfte tube could pass all the way through. Honestly I'm still gutted about it, cause you know how it is, how many people have the time, motivation and energy to send the whole thing back after 30 to 40 prints, even if it's only a few weeks old, stuff gonna have signs of usage and you never know what customer support clusterf*** you could end up with on top of all you already had to endure so far. It's a fine machine but probably just one or a few random slackers that worked in the factory that day or a series of tough luck in manufacturing, I guess... That all said, I can confirm the ptfe tube has to go through all the way to the nozzle and it's been printing like that np for twice as much as before the problem started so I guess this is the way! If you do that I'd recommend to use the opportunity to also swap the stock ptfe by capricorn tube, takes more heat and better quality.

Legit some problem here, had a tube blockage and now I see that the tube won't go all the way through, it stops about 2cms in and will not budge. Not keen on drilling it out but likely going to need to buy a thinner tubing or something, if the tube really is supposed to reach all the way to the nozzle this is a pretty huge oversight! :-(

I replaced my bowden tube with a Capricorn tube, but I find now that it isn't able to be pushed right through the nozzle hole like the old PTFE tubing could. I'm not sure if this is normal, but there's no blockage, it just stops when it reaches the nozzle area. I've cleaned it all out but still no go.
