    Hi there ! Your screws are on the bottomof your carriage that holds the hotend between the rear fan and hotend is one phillips screw. You dont need to mess with that one but on the other side towards the robo lettering (front) youll find the 2nd one. Loosen that screw and slide the pull tab (black plastic) on the right side of the hotend out and bam ths hotend will fall out

    Do you know why they switched it? Cost reduction?

    Thats my assumption. Not that it causes any issues either way that i know of but id bet molding a pallet vs machining a pallet is much cheaper.

    Customer support sent me this info last week:

    -You can take the extruder off the printer to get a better look at the problem. See these pictures to see how to operate the quick release and to easily remove your extruder.
