    i already spent 8+ hours trying to get the hot end unclogged... wasted 75 dollars because I broke the hotend I just got from Robo3d... i am not going to buy another one because I dont want to wait the 10 days to get another, so i borrowed a friends and it does this... why does it do this? why cant my printer print anymore?!!!!!

    If that happened higher up than the nozzle then you are suffering from "heat creep" and the likely culprit is that the hot end fan is not working properly or at all. If the nozzle is clogging then you should "season" the nozzle to help minimize clogging.
