Oh, hi. I'm maybe dumb.
My Anycubic Kobra 2 Max was being weird (I don't remember why or what; this has been an ongoing issue that has played out for months). I have taken the hotend apart, swapped out things, and now I'm getting heat creep. I can print one benchy and then total clog.
Here's what I'm trying to figure out.
- There's the extruder (replaced, not making weird clicking noises, seems fine, fan works).
- Next thing down is the heat sink / finned cooler thing, the name of which escapes me. (question about that in a sec)
- There's the heat break (question about that in a sec)
- And there's the hot end / heat block and nozzle. Right?
Okay, so.
Bowden tube goes into the extruder, on the top. Good. Not very far down, though, it seems?
Heat sink nests into the extruder
Does the heat sink have its own bowden tube in it? (I think it's supposed to).
And that bowden tube runs down through the heat break.
I guess the thing I can't figure out is, the bowden tube doesn't go al the way up through the extruder; the bottom of the extruder )where it meets the heat sink) isn't wide enough for a bowden tube.
I tried trimming the bowden tube to it sits flush with the bottom of the extruder - still heat creep clog.
I've taken this damn thing apart so many times I just can't anymore and I'm sure I'm doing something foolish but I can't tell what.
So how the eff to reassemble it properly?
(Pictures for reference, and printing PLA, PLA+, around 210, never had a problem with it before)
