Unanswered My extruder is clogged but im having trouble getting the nozzle out of the printer

When i want to print the filament is all curly but when i search how to remove the extruder it either has older models or different systems i have the newest one i think on the printing bed it has R1 on it but im new to 3D printers so i dont know alot

 

just the nozzle

 

I dont have the hexagon print head i have the default so far

 

i bought the printer of amazon here is the link http://www.amazon.com/ROBO-3D-Assem...ie=UTF8&qid=1440860369&sr=8-1&keywords=ROBO3D

 

and how can i un clog it

 

Your get a better Idea of what's going on if you pull the whole extruder.
First heat it up, then pull the filament out.
Now let it cool. Place a magazine on the glass bed to protect it.
There are 2 electrical plugs to disconnect,( Heater and thermistor ).
Just above the small fan are the 2 screws that hold the extruder in. Take them all the way out.
The extruder will usually drop, if not just wiggle it a little and pull down.
Remove the rubber boot and use two wrenches to remove the nozzle.
I usually just replace the nozzle, they only cost a dollar something, but you can try cleaning it.
Now look thru the entire extruder. you should be able to see thru the filament path.
You can get a pack of 5 nozzles on Amazon for about $6 something.
Good luck Frank

 

the printer i have instead of screwing it out with the screw drivers i have to use alan keys which i dont know how to work

 

The allen key came with the R1. Just push it in the head of the screw like you would a regular screw driver.

 

so push the head in and twist like a screw driver but how will i know if the first one is done

 

ok thanks just needed to make sure

 

how do you disconnect the thermester and heater and are you able to put them back how they were

 

ok
