Hi everybody! and welcome to Frank’s 3D Shop!
In this video I fix a problem with my Prusa MK3S, the Hot-End came loose causing some problems printing. So I go in dismantle just enough of the Hot-End assembly to have a look, find the problem and fix it.
Let’s go!

Hi, I'm Frank my channel is all about 3D printing. I can't get enough of my 3D printer. I make everything and anything out of 3D filament (PLA, PETG and more). As I say a printer that is not printing is a missed opportunity.
I'll be doing electronics, mechanics, computer engineering, DIY, reviews and tutorials.

Not even prusa webpage was as helpful as your video. Thank you!
This is the best video I found on how to dismantle the extruder to replace the hot end. Thanks!
I had a different issue with my hot end and your quick guide on dismantling it was super helpful! Thank you for making these!
Thank you for your great video. Glad to have people like you in this society.
This video just saved me sooo much time and agony. Thank you so much
This video was extremely helpful and I did not know I could access it so easily without fullly taking apart the hot end 👍
Agreed!!!! I have not seen anyone else do it like this and it saved me sooooo much effort, THANK YOU!!
so helpful man !! wish you the best life
Just saw this now, after the red wire broke off at the solder joint of the front fan! The hot glue idea is simply brilliant!
thank you for the video. for a long while my prints have had layer shifts in them and I just noticed my hot end / nozzle had a wiggle in it but the nozzle was snug in the hot end. Turns out I had the same issue as you. My heatsink was a full quarter turn loose. I just fixed it and redid a first layer calibration and am now doing my first print since the fix. We will see how it goes. But I am sure a lot of the layer shifting I had should now be fixed.
Thx Frank, you just helped me fix my leak. Super easy and great video !!!
Good tips and great videography, Frank. Your site is number 1 with me when it comes to fixing my mk3s!
Excellent video with nice close up. Just what I needed to fix a blob of doom. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Watching it gave me the courage to unblock my own Hotend!
Absolutely outstanding video Frank. This was my exact issue and it wasn't easy following a text guide. I stumbled on your video and you made it so easy to follow. My issue is gone! I'm a subscriber now. Thank you!
Same
This video helped me out, so it deserves a comment ! Thank you !
I had this exact issue and your video saved me a ton of time. Thank you!
Just found this site after trying to clear a blockage where the filament would stop just past the drive gear. I tried the 'Quick fix' of winding up the temperature to 295, just smelt funky, no result. Thank to this no 'bullshit and bubble gum' approach clip, I found 3mm of filament blocking the entrance to the PTFE tube. Subscribed and will catch-up later tonight to the sound of my Prusa backing group.
Thank you; very useful video. I'd been putting off the task of addressing a leak between the hot break and heater block; this helped me remember the disassembly sequence, reducing my expected frustration substantially! :)
This really helped in figuring out how much I needed to disassemble the extruder to reach the hotend, thanks! :)
Thanks for sharing your video. This video saved me from issue of under extrusion on MK3S. I found that the heater block and heatsink were loose.
This video saved my life!! Thank you so much, super clear (:
I had a leakage problem because of loosen hotend. Now its fixed. Thanks
Brillant. Saved the days for me. Had the same issue. Surprisingly I have only done 20 prints from new. Very naught Prusa for such a design issue.
Nice video. Thank you. Videos like this are so helpful.
SO helpful - Thank You
This was the exact same issue I was having. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Thanks for the video, just helped me sort mine out
Thanks for the video! I had leaking filament coming from above the heat block since it was loose. Followed the steps you outlined here to tighten it and now it looks the leak is gone and prints have more consistent layers. Cheers from Toronto
Perfect! Exactly what I needed, thank you!
Thank you for helping me clear the hotend even tho this wasnt the purpose of this video but thank you anyway
Thanks! My fan shroud just broke, and just shows very clearly how to replace that part in particular also!
thank you, it helped me a lot. I was taking apart the whole extruder, which now seems silly :)
Thank you sir.
Fabulous video. Immediate solve. Thanks!
Fantastic. Thank you so much. That's exactly what was going on.
Great video, helped me a lot.
Awesome beard and great to see you back.
Thanks man, it’s little thought like yours that gives me strength to do more!
@@Franks3Dshop well I'm glad you're back. As far as ideas go for the channel, I would suggest modding videos for the monoprice mini. Like the extended bed or axis stabalizers. Maybe show off functional prints or projects you're working on.
Hi Frank, We missed you 😍🤩😍
thanks, this is what i need
I like the Macintosh Plus (and Beard Plus)!
;-)
And preparing the next generation: twitter.com/franks3dshop/status/1307750332278214657?s=21
Very good !
Nice. Thanks was a good video
Glad to see you back on KZhead..been quite some time Hope all is well with you & those you care about ?
Everything is good considering the global situation. Thank you!
thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video, this is my exact issue too. Too bad I broke the heater cartridge when trying to tighten it :( Well I guess I learned my lesson now.
I know you made me think I can fix my print held. I had something happen a while ago with a filament which filled the print head I only opened the side door of the feed area and had to chip the materiel out. Has not worked 100 % since then. Maybe I will try what you showed in this video to see what else is wrong. thanks for the video.
love the video.
I just ordered a game shifter knob from you, I’m excited to get it
Thanks, I sure like it myself!
Useful tips - thank you. By the way - it looks like your part cooling shroud is starting to sag a little. I reprinted mine using prusament PC-blend, and it has stayed in perfect shape since then.
I reprinted 1 with Amz3d PETG because I broke it! Nothing else to report since then.
hey frank how you been doing do you know where i can get a mini board for my monoprice
Hi I have been good, a lot of things are happening and it's great it keeps me occupied! Do you mean the original board for the mini? Depending on your exact model you can find the correct board here: www.mpselectmini.com/parts/mainboard#replacements You can even get a silent board, meaning a board with higher steps/mm and smoother quieter operations, I think I will get one and try it !
I have the same loose Problem but I think it's further down at the heat block
Tanks
Where does the big ball bearing go that fell Out of my extruder? 😱
What's that Prusa labeled orange thingy? Is that a mod? It's kanda cool as it looks like its giving a visual cue that the filament is being fed. How is that installed? I just got done with your install video and this will surely help my install when my Mk3s+ comes. TIA.
Hi those are from Thingiverse it is held in place with magnets
that block where the nozzle is in has pla filament in its threads how to fix it.. original company of prusa cant respond so much cause of pandemic .. but others charge between 50-100 euro per hour.. -.-
I'd like to note for anyone who's considering this and would like to learn from my mistakes - always do this with the nozzle on, otherwise the heat break gets screwed in and you get contact between the hot end and the colder areas of the extruder assembly. The nozzle and the heat break share the same thread. This means that the heat break can go further in leaving the nozzle not being able to go all the way. The consiquense in my case was that the filament stopped extruding right after the initial loading.
Thank you, it took me longer than I'd like to admit wondering why I wasn't getting a gap.
This is the most important comment here.
I don’t remove the yellow warning stickers either! 😂
TY, I have a cold end jam that i propyl made worse this will help out a lot ty
Salut Frank! J'ai une CR-10 mini et j'ai un soucis avec l'extrudeur. Je suis certain que le problème viens du motherboard. J'ai donc acheter le motherboard d'Ender 3 v.4.2.7 compatible avec le CR-10 mini selon le fournisseur. Je trouve très peu d'information sur la mini, sur ce genre de modification qui implique aussi de formaté le nouveau board avec Arduino, etc... Je perds la tête en gros. Help please 🏳️
Peut-être que mes videos sur la modification de la mini peuvent t'aider : kzhead.info/sun/Z9R6d7qwe4eHdY0/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/lsNtecpua6iQpKs/bejne.html par contre je n'ai pas essayé l'écran et le bouton originale de la mini sur un autre board avec Marlin, la mini n'utilise pas Marlin et l'écran+bouton communiquent avec le motherboard par du gcode, mais il y a des références dans Marlin.
@@Franks3Dshop merci!
I wouldn’t call this dismantling the hot end. Thought for sure you were going to take apart the actual hot end.
You are looking for dissecting a hotend my guy 🤣🤣🤣
@@mophie6941 Nah, he's looking for dismantling the hot end. This video simply gains access to the hot end. Notice how nothing dismantled in this video was hot or capable of becoming hot. 🤦♂️
Exactly. The hot end was exposed i.e. some stuff were dismantled but the actual hot end was not dismantled. The whole process of dismantling the hot end is much more complicated, and only ~50% of the work was shown here. The rest (~50%) was missing. I was looking for the guidance video as I wish to replace my current hot end with a new one. This video didn't bring me to the goal, must look for some better.
Hi, what happened to the rest of the build videos?
What do you mean? I have the whole series in a playlist for you: kzhead.info/channel/PLMxAz7x1vIz3kyVTJKuHs7iA3bRvRMEcG.html Do you see something missing, do you have suggestions about what you are missing? Tank you!
I swear I checked😀well I have a binge session now
@@Franks3Dshop I would of liked to see the steps after the build. The initial setup to get started. By the way all your videos will be really useful once i receive my MK3S :) Thanks (Merci d'un autre Québecois pour ton temps et tes videos):D
from Quebec? (:
Oui oui
@@Franks3Dshop i love the Quebec accent! And thanks for the video!
Good video, but the music is annoying.
100th like
that's not hotend disassembly
