| This guide will teach you how to take apart a MakerBot Smart Extruder+ to remove the filament clogging the extruder. |
| If your MakerBot Smart Extruder+ isn't extruding filament well or if no filament is coming through the extruder, it is most likely clogged. |
|
| Before using this guide, try to reload the filament in the extruder. A partial clog can be fixed by reloading and pushing the filament through. This doesn't always work and disassembly is required to remove the clog. |
|
| Before beginning make sure to remove filament that is being fed into the extruder and remove the extruder from the 3D printer carriage when it is still 20° C to 50° C. |
|
| Be careful not to touch the nozzle during this guide as the nozzle will be hot. |
