MakerBot Replicator 2 Nozzle De-clog

Ғылым және технология

Jake Clark, of Fargo 3D Printing, walks you through the process of de-clogging the extruder nozzle of the MakerBot Replicator 2.
Tools Needed:
Side or flush cutter
Let’s Get Started
1. Preheat your Replicator 2 to 230°C (which should be the factory setting).
2. Once the printer is preheated, grab the filament with your left hand and push down on the black drive gear block with your right hand.
3. Push down on the filament until you see plastic melting out of the nozzle.
4. Pull up quickly on the filament to release it from the machine. This should grab the clog.
5. Use the side cutter to clip off the end of the filament that contains the clog.
6. Repeat this process 3 to 5 times.
7. Print a 10 to 15 minute test print to make sure your printer is working properly.
Still clogged?
8. If this does not solve the issue - go to “Info and Settings” on your MakerBot Replicator 2.
9. Then select “Preheat Settings”.
10. Change the temperature to 250°C.
11. Repeat the same steps that you did at 230°C.
12. Repeat the push down, pull up process 3 to 5 times.
13. If the nozzle is clear return to “Info and Settings” then “Preheat Settings”.
14. Change the temperature back to 230°C.
15. Print a 10 to 15 minute test print to make sure your printer is working properly.
Still clogged?
16. If this does not solve the issue - go to “Info and Settings” on your MakerBot Replicator 2.
17. Then select “Preheat Settings”.
18. Change the temperature to 260°C. DO NOT EXCEED THIS TEMPERATURE AS THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE.
19. Repeat the push down, pull up process another 3 to 5 times.
20. If the nozzle is clear return to “Info and Settings” then “Preheat Settings”.
21. Change the temperature back to 230°C.
22. Print a 10 to 15 minute test print to make sure your printer is working properly.
Still clogged?
If this does not solve your clog issue, either purchase a replacement nozzle or contact us to walk you through how to fix your nozzle: www.fargo3dprinting.com/produc...

    You sir, are an angel. Thank you very much. Worked wonders on my Replicator 1 and prevented me from replacing a nozzle to have it manually declogged. Thanks!

    This really works well. Before this video i tried 230 before this video. But Pla at 250 really got out a piece of junk

    I'm going to have to get a new nozzle. Do you have any advice for how to replace it? Also, is the nozzle the only thing that needs replacing?

    I wasn't having any problems until I went from PLA to ABS and my motor started clicking as the ABS filament went through and only a small amount was coming out. I don't have the release on mine like yours so I let it clipped it as close to extruder as possible and let it run through. Now it won't load at all. Any ideas?

    Hi Jake / Allen: i followed all and worked fine/perfect on 1st run. i removed parts, took some measurements then went to run a 2nd run of same parts but no pla coming out. When i load filament, i have to pull out line and reload then it will drool again. only 1st run good. seems like its getting stuck somewhere between the barrel and the nozzle or the just plugging up again. the barrel looks good (can see thru). Please help. makerbot replicator 2

    We have had constant clogging issues with our Replicator 2 printer. We have had to replace out the Heater Block Assembly many times with a Fargo one (I think we have purchased 2-3 Fargo assemblies within a year or so), but the issue keeps arising. After a quick inspection, it seems like the plastic is expanding in the thermal barrier tube which prevents plastic from passing through the tube. Do you have any suggestions? We are running DeltaMaker Black 1.75mm PLA at 220C with stock settings in the MakerBot software. Also, we have put in a new Fargo Thermocouple and Fargo Heater Cartridge.

    Fargo 3D Printing The heatsink fan was making some odd noises so I replaced it and unclogged the printing nozzle. Since then, we have ran the printer for about 10 hours or so without a problem, however, I'm curious to see how it performs after another few weeks of regular use. One thing I have noticed is, the side blower fan does not turn on, ever. I've already ordered a replacement from MakerBot so I will replace it out once it arrives. I was able to probe the output connector of this blower fan on the main board, and never saw a voltage reading above 0.3V. The main board was replaced a little over a year ago (purchased from MakerBot directly). Do you have any suggestions regarding this issue?

    230 didn't work, so I went to try it on 250+, and it won't let me preheat. It just keeps giving me an option to cool down. Should I just wait it out?

    Fargo 3D Printing Gonna have some others try their luck and we'll def look into replacing what needs it. We just put an upgraded thermocouple on there, as well.

    I don't need the block I need the thermocouple that is screwed into the block. can you sell me just that? I broke mine off.

    I'm assuming this is for ABS, correct? I wouldn't typically recommend this for PLA as PLA will burn above 230C
