    Hi, my extruder is clogged, and I can't manage to use guitar string to push out the filament like I was previous times. I am trying to remove the extruder without disassembling everything, but in the tutorials I find, they just say to unscrew these two screws:

    However, my printer does not have two screws there on either side. My question is, how can I get the hotend out without taking everything apart, since I don't have these two screws? If anyone could link me to a tutorial or just tell me how that'd be great!

    Is there a mod for the r1 to convert it to a quick release? pita is being nice.

    Yes. The design for the v6 is public, but I have been told I could share the stock design to a forum member wanting it. ;)
