This document will outline the steps necessary to clear a
clog in the heatsink tube assembly caused by the filament
bulging up inside the tube. If the filament becomes clogged,
neither loading nor unloading will be possible. Tube clogging
can occur by either using an old filament that’s kept in the
open for a longer duration or from 3rd party filaments with
lower transition temperatures.
Tools Required:
• Unclog tool
• Brush
• Scissors
• Pliers
• 2mm Hex bit or Hex wrench (Allen key)
• 2.5mm Hex bit or Hex wrench (Allen key)
• T10 Torx bit or screwdriver (no longer than 4 inches).
Preventative Measures:
In order to help avoid clogging please follow the recommen-
dations below.
1. Only use Dremel filament.
2. Always unload the filament from the printer when not in
use.
3. Always wait for the extruder to cool down see thermome-
ter icon on screen empty.
4. Store your filament in a dry environment with a desiccant
bag and clip the free end of the filament to the two holes
in the spool to prevent filament getting tangled or brittle-
ness.
Please call Dremel service center for help in unclogging
your extruder.
