How to clear a clogged nozzle in the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon

A clogged nozzle is a common occurrence, but given that the new Bambu Lab X1 Carbon uses a proprietary hot end and nozzle I thought I'd do a quick video showing how to quickly clear a clogged nozzle.

DUDE! I was sceptical. Very sceptical. It worked! You just saved me a "s...T" load of grief. Thank you 😯🤓

Thank you so much this was such a breeze. I thought I was going to have to disassemble the whole thing luckily I saw this tutorial first. Even if this wouldn't have worked it was so easy to disassemble and reassemble only 2 screws and I directly saw that the nozzle was clogged when removing. Your heated metal tip worked like a charm too. Much love!

You rule. Great video. Excited to get my Bambu in a few days!

great video thanks, as a warning to all, make sure to disconnect all hot end cables before attempting the cold pull, I did it and pull back yanked a soldered connector from the board!

This is an amazing printer. Lightyears beyond anything else in its price range. My high end Prusa clone (Pulse XE) seems so antiquated compared to my X1 Carbon.

You just saved my nozzle on P1S.... Eyrone Silk PLA (purple&gold) was stuck because of thickness differences... Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks for the video. Using it I took the nozzle off and the filament was there, bingo ! Put it back and its already printing again. :)

Thx, for this manual, helped a lot for me. First clogged nozzle after 2 weeks of 23/7 printing :D

[JBGeckoyt]

this helped a great deal! I was able to clear my clog, I did need to remove the hotend and use a needle, but I got it! Also I tried to run filament through the head unit first and that let me detect that the gears were working, just not the tube.

The more I research this printer the more I am impressed.

[DanteEhome]

Appreciate the video. It inspire me to use a solder iron with a thin top to heat the inside of the tube then use a thin allenkey to clean the clog. Much appreciate it.

[Inspire_Tok]

This is the only video that worked!! Thanks

[BradKwfc]

Heads up I had a serious TPU clog. I had to do the allen key trick 3 times (each time it pulled more out) before my nozzle was clear. I almost gave up on it but it worked😊

Thank you so much this fixed my P1S a treat

[omnitron]

You can also use cold pull like routine maintenance. It works for me.

This is good to know! I have a clog right now after a filament runout.

I had just once a clogged nozzle in the X1.
But i decided not to disassebmble much .. is just heated the nozzle up and used the 0, 4mm needle (which was also delivered) from below.
Just stick it in and a few times up and down thhrough the molten plastic.
So maybe i had some dirt which then came out ort some minimal burr at the to of the nozzle.
Just to mention i printed no carbon or glasfiber before .. so i thought that way could help
And it worked :)

The thing about some of these videos is that I can't tell if they're hyping up the product..is it really 'that easy' ? but i watched it because i had a tpu clog. And it actually worked easily just like this video. Been jaded from my ender 3 'fixes' lol Thanks for the help!

Thanks mate, really saved me some hassle too

I've had a few clogs with my e3d hemera and it take the part cooling fan off, the hemera's fan out, removing 2 screws to hold to the motor, slowly remove it, find the part which dropped off it, unscrew the heat break, fix the clog, and put it back together which if you are very lucky about 1/2 a hour now I've done it so many times .
