Clogged Nozzel?
My print failed overnight and it looks like my mosquito hotend is trashed. I'm not sure what happened, from the pictures it looks like the material started flowing from som other location on the hotend.
Any suggestions on how to save my mosquito hotend? The material was Polymaker Nylon-GF.

leaky heatbreak most likely
did you printed CF filamnents?
I have in the past but nothing for about a year.
i wold try to clean it with a heatgun and see if its possible to reassemble
Found the problem. The heat break had a small fracture and filament was coming out of it, built up on the heater block and fortunately the system's safety shutdown the hotend. It's only going to cost me ~$90 to replace. I'm going to replace the temp sensor and heater as well, FML.
Do you think CF or GF filament could erode the heat break?
for $90 i would buy aa rapido 2 thats coming out very soon
its cf capable and better in every way than the magnum
the magnum is not a CF hotend
The heat break is only $40 but the other bits and shipping are the additional cost. I would move to the rapido but I need to print new EVA fixturing first. Can't do that until my hot end is working. A little bit of Catch 22.
Thanks @Helge Keck for the help.
You could have someone in #print-services make them for you
