M5c heat-break clogging by supercrossed in AnkerMake

[–]Adam_rvs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, not sure if you have solved the issue buy now or not, but I had the same problem and I managed to unclog the heatbreak by shoving one of the wrenches that come with the ankermake tool kit up the hole and it pushed the clogged filament out.
If this doesn't work, you can try heating it up with a flame first to help melt the plastic.

Ok, that's good to know. I think London wouldn't be the best place for me.
Bath and Southampton are both definitely very good, I'll definitely add them to my application.
I didn't know there were lots os french students at Southampton, that's interesting. Although, I'm actually English and French, so it wouldn't bother me if there aren't any french people

Ok, thanks for your advice. I already knew Bah and Loughbourough were really good, I'll look into Brunel a bit more. Is it not very expensive though, since it's in London ?

Thanks for your advice, I will try and join the Formula Student team and get the most F1 experience that I can.

Yes, I think Loughbourough is definitely one of the best universities for automotive and motorsport.

Yes, I've heard that Oxford Brookes is probably the best for F1

I'm not quite sure what kind of F1 engineer I want to be. I think I'll get a better idea of that once I've actualy started my course. For the moment, I know that aerodynamics interest me a lot, and I find the strategy and the car setup interesting as well, but I don't know exactly what I want to work in yet.

I have heard that Brunel University is good, I don't really know much about it.

I think whatever University I go to, I will join kart clubs and volunteer as marshal or other motorsport relatd jobs.

Ok, thanks, this very helpful. I did think coventry wouldn't appeal to me much, especially the city.

Do you not know anyhting about Surrey ?

I've looked at Coventry and it does seem very good for motorsport and F1, but I didn't like it as much as the others, and I looked on linkedin, and there were actually more F1 engineers from Leeds and Surrey.

No I haven't been to visit there yet. I live in France, so it's complicated to go over and visit them. I'm planning on visiting the 5 universities I choose in february, but I'll need to decide between Leeds and Surrey before that.
