How to replace nozzle on da vinci 3d Printer.

Or you could have just removed the filament via the unload filament menu option. How has your reliability with the Da Vinci been? I have had nothing but one issue after another.
@Neal_Grieb I couldn’t do that because my nozzle wasn’t heating up, therefore the filament was just stuck there. Believe me that was the first thing I tried. Other then the nozzle crapping out on me I’ve been satisfied with it so far. Sometimes the print starts out crappy, like you gotta monitor the first layer but once that’s passed it usually prints out a decent print.
The nozzle not heating would definitely be a problem. I’m glad to hear I’m an isolated bad luck case. When I am up and printing, it does well (as you said if the first layer goes down), but I’ve had wiring and temperature issues nearly every 8 or so prints. Maybe I’m doing something extreme with mine? What has your longest print time been so far?
My longest print so far with a DA Vinci is 17 hours.
I’ve done as long as 32 hours but I keep having burnouts. I can only get about 8 good prints before I have a major issue requiring replacement parts. I’ve had a nearly constant issue with the calibration head misreading, thermocouples shorting, and other poor wiring connections. At this point I’m fairly certain that I cannot trust anything any of the sensors are telling me.
@Neal_Grieb My longest print was probably around 15 hours that was successful. Right after that one I did even bigger print that estimated to be about 20 hrs but that’s when my nozzle crapped out 2/3 of the way and the print never finished. I’ve seen people remove the connector and just hardwire the wires instead and that seemed to be working out for them. I might try that if I start getting problems. I wish I had more time to play with my printer, between family, work and trying to put something on youtube weekly, I don’t get much time to actually design and print stuff as much as I want too.
@Daddicated I hear you. That was one of my main drivers in buying a pre-made printer. It was closed so the little ones couldn’t touch it and I don’t have the time to be fabbing printer parts and designing things to be printed. Unfortunately as it is working out for me, I have had probably as much hassle and printer down/repair time that I could have just built one myself anyway. At least then I could have picked stout and sturdy connectors and hardware (not to mention stepper motors that are much more accurate in the x & y orientations).
