Today’s possibly impossible project. Un-hairball the 3D printer.
Left it printing for a couple of hours without looking and that’s what I got.
Hard to see how I can remove this blob without destroying crucial parts. Some wires went already. The built in heater doesn’t heat the plastic that far away, and the hair dryer I tried isn’t hot enough. Sigh.

@J12t This little tool has helped me out more times than I can count, but not for a 3D printer yet. Worth a shot!
