Thanks, I was just worried that it could damage the hotend if I were to unscrew it while hot.
Heat up the hot end then unscrew?
"It can't be stuck if it's liquid." -old mechanic
I came here to say that
When in doubt, get hot and screw.
Instructions unclear, penis stuck in hot end.
Hotend stuck in penis. Please help.
See, the other guy has a tiny penis, because he got his penis stuck in the tiny hot end.
You, on the other hand, must be packing some real heat to get the hotend up your urethra. Thank you for your service.
Let me service you.
I have a a very thin penis. The ratio between girth and urethra diameter is just ... Different.
Lighter + Screwdriver then shove it in.
Heat guns are what I use to loosen things up.
Cigarette lighter and a small nail/pin. Heat it up and scrape out what you can. Heat the nail and print head.
Little kitchen blow torch / jet lighter for better effect.
hotend
What word is this?
It’s the end that gets hot.
Wow. There is a word 'hotend'.
Is it pronounced 'ho tend' or is it pronounced in a way that makes you wonder whether someone forgot a space? (Or a T, I guess)
Hot end. Its the end that gets hot.
