Smart Extruder Nozzle

[mrtnt0573]

Hi, new to 3d printing and new to the boards...so I have had some trouble with the smart extruder getting clogged. I watched the Fargo 3d printing demo on clogs and was able to remove the nozzle. The jam was so deeply impacted, I had to use a dremel to clear it out. I got everything working again, but I was wondering if there was any place that sells good replacement nozzles. I have seen some for sale, but not sure if the quality is good. Also, am I looking for a specific size?

I've been told by MakerBot, not to remove the nozzle.

But, I've done it anyway.
All the clogs I've encountered have been easily removed by putting the nozzle on a metal table and putting a heat gun on it.

Not sure about buying replacement nozzles.

You can get replacement nozzle as spare part from Makerbot - MK8

If you're talking about just the nozzle, putting it in a cup of acetone and agitating it every once in a while will clear the nozzle without any damage.
