Think you've killed your expensive @diamondbacknozzles? Don't throw it away just yet!
In this episode of PrintFixFriday, we're tackling a nightmare scenario for any 3D printer owner: a stuck thermistor inside a @BambuLab hotend. After receiving the wrong parts from Bambu and failing with the "oil trick," we had to resort to a more... drastic measure. Watch as we literally drill out a stuck thermistor to save a $160 Diamondback nozzle and get this machine back to pooping filament perfectly. We also troubleshoot some common Bambu Lab hardware flaws, from broken fan covers to cable chain issues.
In this video, we cover:
- How to remove a broken thermistor from a Bambu Lab hotend.
- Testing the "oil trick" for thermal glue removal.
- Step-by-step guide to drilling out a stuck thermistor (with safety tips!).
- Rebuilding a Bambu Lab hotend with a Diamondback nozzle.
- Fixing broken fan housings and cable chain clearance.
- The "printed part hack" for smoother AMS filament loading.
