HotEnd - CAN IT BE SAVED

[Argescreations]

Well Guy, Had my first technical issue with my new CR6 SE. Got a new batch of filament (non_branded) so I dried for 24hrs before use, calibrated setup, ran a number of test prints then....... BANG. (not really a bang, more like a uuhhh). First, base level contained a great number of overflow, then base level began to be removed accumulating under the nozzle, a black element appeared in the print out and finally masses of melted filament began to be left over the print area. With allen keys in hand, the disassembly began, the silicon covers had melted and filled with filament. The nozzle unscrewed easily because it was only screwed in half way, once cool the hotend was removed, covered in blackened, melted filament. "Houston...we have a problem"Assuming that the filament was leaching from the loose nozzle, reviewing my test pieces in appears that at @200C the viscosity and flow pressure (100%) created a perfect storm. The entire Hotend, level probe, and silicon covers have been destroyed.Now for the question: should I try salvage the Hotend unit or just bin it.Filament is not that hard to remove, but is it really worth it. Looking at grabbing the PrinterMod tool mounting system, also since I'm at it might even upgrading the Hotend for a Slice Engineering 'Mosquito"Hotend. (when available)
