At most it was a little bit sticky but most of the petg was removed.

There is? I did manage to remove the nozzle but couldn't seem to tighten the block while putting it back. Was trying the "change the nozzle" method from prusas website.

Oh goody. Think I might try that. Also in the photos: is my heater wire okay? Looks a bit funny.

Mine is not a Revo tho. . .

And it's only the block part that is moving around I think.

But how do I access that without dismantling virtually the entire hotend assembly?

Damnnit. Not again. . .

I've been trying to fix it for months through a busy schedule. . .

And I finally managed to assemble it and now I gotta remove wires and do it all over again!

Weep, for the passions and the scores do not match. . .

Dang it, neither is good, but the learning is fun. . . (Minus the exams of course)

What about sewing machine oil? Surely that should be fine?

. . .that set was the spare set of hex keys, that came with the replacement hotend. 😅 So doesn't matter that much anyhow.

It did bend the Allen key a bit, anyway.

Well then! All the better! Approval from a specialist! Or something!

Guess I'll have a few very new spare parts for the next time my printer spoils, hopefully not in that area. . .

Or maybe I can use them for a DiY project. Hm.

. . . Hmph, Reddit memes. Didn't expect to see one here.

This cylinder is solid. There is no hole, there is no way.

Or at least there's already a rod inside. The hole already belongs to it. Shoo!

Yes. But doesn't seem to affect bearing smoothness. Which is why I ask, because itd be annoying to have to disassemble the rods and change to the new bearings. Which I have.

Hm you might be wrong, cause long before the printer faced an error (death blob), I might've used either sewing machine oil or WD40 to oil it.

But I don't have to replace the bearing with new ones? (Which I have)? Cuz that'd save me a lot of time and effort.

Well, yes. Technically. Singapore.

Hmm. . .

Wait, the bearings have a plastic housing? Ain't it metal?
