I am working on the first video for this channel, which will be uploaded soon, the first video will be on the install of the 2TB 2230 SSD from iFixit into the SteamDeck, and will be released later this week. Future videos will feature topics like security, phones, cameras, computers, upgrades, and installs, etc. The channel can be found here: @T8Tech .

Thank you for your time making this explainer. I am new to 3-D printing and copped a manute blockage that nothing else would unblock, taking the whole assembly apart, mission accomplished.

I have had my printer for a grand total of 2 weeks and I already got a clog on the extruder. This is the only video so far that I have seen that is a tear down so thank you! Now I just need to figure out how to take off the cog as the filament froze the whole bit

My 3d printer was broken for a while and I searched the internet for solutions, but once I saw your video I was able to fix my 3d printer completely. Thank you so much for making this video.

Literally one of the most informative videos on this printer i have watched to date. I am using a P1S and it is very similar. I now have a full understanding of how this printer head works. Great quality video and teaching, thank you!

You just earned a follower, sir. I just got my x1c unit about a week ago and just had my first clog and I realized why I got the clog in the first place, but needed help getting the clog out. Your video was spot on in explaining the how and the why behind the madness. Thank you so much!

[pudphones]

That worked! I had my first clog in my X1C (filament wouldn’t retract, was showing an error). Your video saved the day. Not easy for my big fingers to plug in all those tiny cables but I made it work! Thank you sir.

[Waylander]

This is the BEST kind of tutorial. Informative, short and to the point! Thank you

[Alenka]

Brilliant! My X-1 has just refused to print. After removing the filament a green dot still showed on the control screen which I gather means there is still filament detected in the extruder. There is no other video that makes the process for unclogging the extruder look so easy. Thanks a million for making this video.

[ChrisStansell]

Appreciate all your hard work here getting this together. Fixed everything today.

[craigforest]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! My printer is up and running again in about 15 minutes!!

[RayOrsini]

Thank you so much for this video. I'd struggled with filament stuck in the same place you showed. The Bambu documentation has everything in tiny bits so it's not easy to follow if you don't know the next step. With your video I got it done on the first try. Thank you!

Great video, thanks for posting!! Nice to find a video that's actually useful, and explains things well. I had an issue with the print head (extruder), and had to filter through 50 different videos showing how to unclog the damn nozzle, before I found this one!!

I have yet to get a clog in the filament sensor but I do seriously think they need to redesign the upper filament path of that extruder housing. Most my clogs in it are under the runout sensor just above the hobbed gears inside that larger gap. Every time I have a clog I have to push the filament down out of that opening and snip that tip off. That opening there is pretty huge. Most extruders have it as a small diameter opening just like the lower half under the hobbed gears. I think that larger opening on the upper half of this extruder housing doesn't help keep the shape of the filament. The filament tends to curl or even swell ever so slightly as it goes into that gap right after the hobbed gears release it to where it wont pass through the filament sensor. This could be for a few reasons. Either I am getting a little bit of heat creep making my filament pliable, or the extruder tension is too strong deforming the filament ever so slightly. It could be both even. There is not much play you can give on the extruder tension as cover prevents you from backing the screw out much at all. The stock position from the factory has it screwed all the way it. I backed mine out as much as I can but the spring used is really strong as well so it does not relieve much pressure. As for heat creep, I would normally do a PID tuning but I have no clue how to do that with the BambBu printers. From what I gather it is not an accessible feature and done internally. I know mine needs PID Tuning because I use the Panda Revo hotend on mine. I guarantee the tuning is off a little do to this. One day I hope to figure that part out. I think it would help me a lot. Until then I just have to live with it. It is not too bad though as I do not get clogs all the time. It is only ever once and a while.

I'm new to Bambu Lab and had a clog in my P1S. This video was exactly what I needed to get going again. Thank you!

[BennyTygohome]

Appreciate these vids. They'll help me if Bambu gives me filament errors

[anthonymonge]

I stumbled on your channel because my x1 finally got a clog. Great work!! If you want more peeps subscribing, I would find the obscure printers and stuff and do teardowns. People will start coming.

[Jean-Francois_Robin]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! made it quick and easy to troubleshoot and maintain my X1 nozzle !

[Beezybenzino]

Thanks for this video. Just watched it in case I ever need to perform a repair!

[Engineerboy]

Pretty good video, one word of advice, I would have angled the camera a bit for the first half so we can see what you're actually doing instead of just staring at the back of your hand. Thanks for posting.

[D-Printerly]

Thanks dude, great video. Really helped me fix a clog that kept coming up. Hoping it stays unclogged haha
