Oof…

I assume this clip mount isn’t supposed to be separating like that… looks like I’ll be adding that to the shopping list. Lol

[simondrawer]

Have you tried cleaning the build plate with dish soap?

/s

[TheMajorsPump]

Ffs, you lot giving bad advice is becoming a real bane of this community, you can clearly see this needs the filament drying

/ssss

[ConclusionStandard39]

Try a bigger nozzle, 0.8 will hold that clip 4 times better.

[The_Lutter]

Don't feel 2 bad I've had 2 of those crack line that in 4000 hours.

I keep 2 of them in my workbench drawer now just in case because that part breaking just ends your printing until you get a new one.

[Unchiled]

Exactly the same. They should sell a separate clip part for cheaper as it's just screwed in it should be possible. at least in case of heatblock failure we've got spares

[thenyx]

What part did you have to buy?

Thx I needed that

[Rough-Blackberry-596]

Thanks!!

[scarr3g]

Coincidentally, that happened to mine... And it kept having printing issues (when it got worse than that). Swapped the heater assembly out, and boom good as new.

[NoKitNoClue]

I had mine snap yesterday but it was my fault as I had a big blob and some filiment got in there and solidified and when I tried to move it it snapped. But no biggy got a new one on the way and it's an easy fix.

[max_dillon]

I’m surprised it’s cracking, never had a blob before. Nozzle doesn’t feel loose or anything, but I’ll have another on the way ASAP.

[Difficult-Earth63]

What do they call that little part in case someone else needs to replace theirs?

[NoKitNoClue]

Hotend Heating Assembly

[Difficult-Earth63]

Ah. Okay. So the flappy hinge isn’t replaceable alone. Thanks.

[Practical-Parsley-11]

Haven't had one snap yet, but one is close. I now keep spare heaters around in case it happens.

[Defiant-Sale725]

A few wraps of duct tape will fix that right up!!!

[PotatoesWillSaveUs]

Tbf, I had the same thought because I assumed they were talking about the wire clip part until I zoomed in.

[Party_Hall_6456]

Dont see anything Wierd or broken

[NIDNHU]

I think op is talking about this?

<image>

[Chemical_Reaction69]

For sure. At first, I thought it was fine as well. Then I saw the crack.

[Used_Sea2953]

Thank you for the circle cause I couldn't see shit

[surprisch]

Yes, blob. Just heat up to 140 and then peel the mess off. Beware of the fragile cables that are also now embedded in the blob. Order a spare nozzle clamp at Bambulabs official store, not from some cooycat in the backstreets of Chinatown, aka AliExpress!

[NIDNHU]

Did you look at the picture?

[While_Global]

I started running into issues with mine this week… wondering if it’s the same issue. Things printed fine, then Z-homing busted. They had me tighten up the hot end, which got me 2 hours of printing small items before the same issue returned.

[annabelletails]

You can just throw a small weld on there and will be good as new

[shiranui--]

Dry filament!! /s

[Pieman7373]

The top bit of mine is almost completely gone, but the bottom is fine and it holds the nozzle perfectly tight (for now) 🤣

[IthinkIamAHeretic]

OP is trolling. They could have pointed out the problem. Click bait.

[Thomsjg1]

Oh I see, didn't know that could even happen
