So, I’m helping out a person with a a1mini.
The printer was knocked down onto the floor and a kitty did a #1 on the extruder/hot end.
On top of that there is a severe case of caked on pla to the point that the hot end itself can’t be removed. And I can’t even heat it up as the printer can’t communicate with the extruder/hotend.
I’m trying to figure if I can buy the entire unit as a part including the pcb/stepper/hot end/ the smaller fan and possibly the larger cooler fan.
Photos coming up [here](View my photos at: Forum) as soon as I can find faster service.
This is very stressful to read lmao sorry for your loss
LOL. I’m just thankful it’s not my printer. My X1C is in great shape and printing about 2-3 per day.
I’m just trying to help this person, she is not technical at all more the creative type.
She does not have the ams but the part sticking out of the extruder has 4 Bowden tube holes. Can I reuse the one she has? Also the extruder comes with the pcb and stepper + all the gearing and cutter etc as I understand?
Also is the the silicone shroud/sock included in any of the parts?
It depends if it was damaged in the fall or not.
Your coming close to maybe buying a new printer & using this one for parts.
