Fixing a Clogged Hotend on my Anycubic Kobra 2 Max.

Thank you for watching. If you feel I’ve done something incorrectly please let me know. This is the first time I’ve had to fix a clog on a printer like this. My previous experience is with the old style CR10 hotends and this one was slightly more complicated than those ones.
I mentioned in this video that I would prefer an all metal hotend/heatbreak. When I asked for assistance finding such a thing in one of the Anycubic groups for this printer it seemed to spark a heated debate between which is better.

    you can disassemble the "head" without removing it. unscrew the two screws at the back, and carefully remove the plastic casing and you get access

    Glad im not the only one (despite what customer service says) There has got to be a way to prevent this. Then the sensor is all messed up and it gouges the bed 🤦‍♀️

    Had the same trouble with the kobra max, I replaced the heat break throat with a Copper Titanium Bi-Metal Heat break Throat from amazon and no more clogs. The teflon tubing on the old throat goes all the way through and and fits tight against the hot nozzle and burns. the bi-metal throat that I replaced it with, the teflon tubing only goes 4.5mm into the throat where it's not as hot. You will have to change the length of the teflon tube to fit. If you don't change it, you will have to keep the hotend temps lower.

    looks like you still have a partial blockage....filament should exit straight down... even at the end it is exiting just slightly to the left...

    I’ve had the little Bowden tubes degrade and wear out twice now on this printer. Save yourself a headache and buy a Capricorn Bowden tube to put in there. The spare ones that come with it are garbage

    Great video! Forgive me for my bad English! I've a Kobra 2 and I bought Bowden PTFE tube Capricorn to replace it with the old one. I want to change also the Bowden tube in the heatbreak with Capricorn PTFE, but I'd like to know what is its exact lenght to be cropped. Could you kindly provide me with the length of that small piece of Bowden tube? Once I have inserted it, does it continue to move like on the video? How did you block its movement? Thanks!

    I just did the same thing haha, first clog on my plus. Of course Anycubic was sold out of new nozzles. I purchased a 20 nozzle set of different sizes. Hopefully will work haha. Should know tomorrow

    My OEM hot end was leaking too. Maybe why clogs start. Unit failed at 52 days, requested replacement.

    This was an incredibly helpful video. Thank you. I can pull stuff apart easy enough but always concerned if I'm doing it right. It took me awhile to find it but it earned you a subscriber. Again thank you for this!

    I feel your pain when you sighed. Im having my first extruder clog in the Kobra 2 Max after just having gotten both my Bambu Lab P1S printers up and running again. If it's not one thing, it's another.

    I 3D printed for 3 years and I can sympathize with you on the whole one printer down one working issue. That was always my situation and was so agonizing!!! It's why I got away from printing . I became very good at repairing them but also got tired of it. I was just about to buy this printer because of the great reviews then I saw this and brought me back to all those repairs I had to do. Now I'm leaning towards not returning to this . Plus I'm more busy now then I ever was before with work . Anyway great video .. I agree there should not be a Bowden tube there that was stupid or cheap of anycubic.

    i had the same bloody problem, looks like that blue tube melt a bit, and left space for filament to build up and mess it up.

    Omgs , Prays this doesnt happen to my Plus !! but at least i know where to look to see how to fix it !! 😀

    I simply swapped the heatbreak for a bi-metal heatbreak for CR6. This also lets me use standard volcano nozzles. I've got well over 10kg of filament through it and haven't had a single clog or blockage.

    I see where there are some replacing the blue tube with bimetal or ceramic mods, is this something you have done since

    i received my kobra 2 max 4 days ago and i had to change the heat block along with the Bi-Metal heat break throat.

    had a clog in my Kobra 2 Max also, could not easily get the clogged nozzle clean and out of frustration just held it with pliers over the flame of the gas stove in the kitchen and to my surprise the PLA oozed out. after that i could use the cleaning tool provided by Anycubic. Had some issues with the Kobra 2 Max but most of it was on me to be honest and after the firmware update at least the mid print stopping is over.
