    My printer had a malfunction and long story short I need to abandon the heater block and the electrical components attached. (All encased in pla) I was able to get all the pla off the top of the block but I cannot get the feed tube out so the only option at this point is to get a new feed tube for this new block but I can’t find a feed tube that fits in this hot end

    maybe look at this and determine what part it is you are actually asking for. There is no feed tube on the hexagon

    If you are still using the Hexagon extruder that came with your Robo, the heat break is not a serviceable part, you need to get a whole new extruder.

    You can try generic heatbreaks (good luck) or E3D heatbreaks (you can buy parts for E3D) but seriously, mixing and matching hotend 'bits' is a bad idea. They are actually a tiny bit of engineering... Get a new one like @WheresWaldo suggested. Maybe take this opportunity to upgrade if you don't want another hexagon :)
