printerbot filament nozel is clogged, anyone know how to unclog it?

[William Heath]

Hi All,

The printerbot filament nozel is clogged.  I am still a little bit new to the printerbot hardware.  Anyone know how to unclog it?

P.S.

I figured out the windows xp thing, thanks for the suggestions :>

It should just unclog itself once the nozzle heats up. Open up the pronterface and click the button to heat the nozzle. Once it's up to temperature, some plastic should just slowly come out, even when not in use.

When the printer first starts printing, nothing will come out. But that's why it's configured to print the outline thing first. Some plastic should start to come out during the printing of the outline thing.

Hi Bob,

I have tried to make it work.  Can you give it a try please?

Sure, I'll give it a try next time I'm in... might not be for a couple days though.
