  • Big thanks to Ian Lewis of Printrbot's Support team for guiding me through fixing my Simple.

  • Your printer's hot end is comprised of two stages. The beige plastic part is a thermal break between the 200C heater cartridge and the feeding mechanism above.

  • The job of the beige part is to keep the filament cool before it reaches the heated element.

  • The part pictured is made with PEEK plastic. http://reprap.org/wiki/PEEK

  • For more term definitions, see http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRap_Options#Ex...

  • Anyway, we're here because this thing is jammed. Read on.
