I had a failed print that caused a ton of PLA to extrude up over the hotend and bent the nozzle. I ordered a replacement hotend and heater & thermistor. In the meantime, I have been trying to get the heater and thermistor off the old hotend in hopes they could be salvaged. I have been able to remove the heater, but the thermistor is stuck in the hotend and even when heated, I am not able to remove it. So I’m turning to the community to see if you have any ideas on how I might be able to remove my stuck thermistor.
I had a tip of the thermistor break off inside, just grabbed a thick needle and got it out.
Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately the hotend is bent, and I am just trying to salvage the thermistor and heater.
