I’ve been having quite a few issues with the WASP 2040 Turbo. Even after calibrations there were still significant issues with prints (missing layers as an example - that rose was printed on a very slow speed, 4h30m). Even using the Turbo profiles it was unable to print the Turbo G-Code samples. I discovered filament curling around the nozzle and after further investigation concluded that it was dirty/clogged inside.

I’ve taken the extruder apart hoping to get to the nozzle but its wrapped with two materials (can anyone identify these, and whether they can be replaced once removed? If so, what material would you recommend?)

Furthermore, after piecing it back together in a last ditch attempt to blow it out with max temp heats again, it is giving me Err: Max Temp. I’ve checked the RJ45 and it seems to be all intact. Anyone else had this?

Hi, i have takin apart already 3 of those extruders and new versions (like the one in your picture) can’t be repaired by yourself. I suggest you to send photo and description of this to the seller from who you bought it and they will replace it for free. New extruders are filled with cement to avoid self repairing. Max.temp. error comes when there is broken wire and printer can’t get information from extruder.

One thing you can check by yourself, connect extruder and move the connector cable, this is also gives sometimes faulty readings because of bad connections.

Hi, spare parts for the extruder exist, see the site www.coral3dprint.it and you can order the nozzle for 2016. performer is given in tribute the tube ptfe. They are the only parts that wear out in the extruder block. If the extruder is mounted right should not give any error. An extruder new costs € .148,00. For more info write to info@coral3dprint.it

What a ridiculous practice of putting cement in to make you use repair stations or buy replacements. Thanks print3dee. I’ve emailed Imakr anyway to see if they can get it repaired.

The RJ45 connector cable is fine and so is the chip circuit cable, there’s a single wire out of place but it can’t be put back in because of the cement.

Actually they fill it with cement because in the first versions there was empty space around the nozzle and sometimes it get filled with melted filament when printing went wrong. When trying to remove this melted plastic you probably also will broke those thin wires which are heating the nozzle, i did it 2 times :slight_smile:

Please could you send us an email at supporto@wasproject.it ?

I explained your problem and we support you immediately!

All the best, Stefano

I’ve sent to back to iMakr, if I encounter any problems once it’s back I’ll be in touch,

Thanks Stefano!
