Hi!
After I my nossle got clogged. I decides to try to unscrew the nossle.
The thing is the nossle snapped off. So half of it is stuck in the hotend.
I need to buy a new hotend but i cant find one.
Do i have to buy a Makerbot round shaped hotend? Or can i use any hotend. They usually square ones?
Thank for the help.

You may call the Makerbot support by e-mail or by phone: MakerBot CloudPrint™
They will send you a new hotend. Probably I can give you some ideas how to fix it if you post some pictures.

ok, your nozzle is broken. The easiest way is to call the Makerbot support and ask there for a new hot end. Probalby they send it for free, but shipping cost to europe are insane. Makerbot anywere just sell the whole hot end, you can’t just buy a new nozzle there. Try to remove the broken nozzle part form your hotend ( like this Extract a Broken Screw (DIY)). If it works you just have to buy a new nozzle. I think a 0.4 mm (just if you have a replicator 2x) nozzle from a other distributor should also work. Ther is also a shop which sales replacement parts for makerbot products, but I don’t think that it is cheaper if you buy a new hot end there: http://www.robotshop.com/en/makerbot-replicator-2x-parts.html
You should be able to buy a tool to remove this, you will need a broken bolt remover and you will need to disassemble the hot end. Next time do it when its really hot.
