Service, clean and maybe upgrade mk3s
Hi all.
Had my mk3s for a while (just got it before Brexit screwed us over) and have never serviced it or taken it apart more than a touch for a loop mod and a pi with octoprint, alongside the silicone leveling mod, which has done such good things for my larger prints.
I've been printing with some pla lite from esun and it's been glooping around the nozzle. Had a look and she's FILTHY. Im going to take the extruder off and clean it, I may need to do more as the goop has gone past the heat block by the looks of it. It's really bad.
I'd probably like to grease the bearings, upgrade the nozzle and consider any suggestions you all have (I'm guessing the PTFE tube is gonna have to be swapped too)
I've only ever printed with PLA and PETG, I don't see myself printing with any other filament in the future.
Is there a suggested nozzle, grease and or any other bits I should look for? I can't spend much as I'm on a tight budget, but if something is swapping or needing to be swapped, I'll take on board.
Is there anything else I should do, is the heater block screwed up in the photos?
All advice is greatly appreciated!
