MakerBot Smart Extruder Clogged? Here's an Easy Solution
MakerBot Smart Extruders are, after all, pretty smart. Still, there is one glaring issue that haunts them and can lead to customer dissatisfaction: they are not self-repairing and lack the capacity to diagnose and repair clogs. While Smart Extruders can simply be swapped out to prevent downtime, not every user has a second Smart Extruder lying around, nor the know-how to quickly fix a clog problem. Fargo 3D Printing, though, is here with a solution. Jake Clark and John Schneider, the company's co-founders, have created a how-to video so users can easily diagnose and fix their extruder issues. In the video, Clark describes a step-by-step approach to diagnosing the location and cause of the clog and how to fix it, which can be as simple as replacing the nozzle with a new one (available from Fargo 3D Printing). Check out the video and the easy steps in the full article: http://3dprint.com/41825/makerbot-smart-extruder-clog/
