How can I get the clogged filament out of this heatblock and nozzle?
I use a heat gun to get the filament just soft enough , then use tweezers to pull off big chunks. A vice helps here, you can clamp the heat block while you're heating, then use pliers or a wrench to unscrew the heatbreak and the nozzle. Once the parts are separated, you can drop the parts in a glass jar of acetone, and that will break down the filament so you can get the rest off with a brass wire brush. Just don't dunk the thermal sensor or heater element in the acetone. The metal parts will be fine, but the insulation on the wires could be damaged depending on composition. I've saved and rebuilt several hotends this way - it's great to not have to be ordering hotend parts all the time. 😁

You are very lucky not to have experienced this firsthand. I'm not so lucky, and I can tell you it is real. They get off on deception and power over others, but that's also their weakness - it's a compulsion. While they imagine themselves to be masters of manipulation and control, the urge to gaslight and fuck with people is so great that they typically change jobs, locations and social groups pretty often, depending on how sophisticated (or lucky) they are. They get caught because they can't help themselves. If they see an opportunity to manipulate someone, they will take it - they overestimate their ability to fool people.

It definitely works on PETG, PLA and most other plastics. I use it on some of my prints that need to be watertight. It leaks through the tiny cracks and seals them. Have you actually used acetone on any of these filaments...? I use them regularly for this purpose and I can't understand why you would say it "doesn't do much"...?

Maybe Lemmy can forcibly invent a new term for "ricing". (Good faith pls)

I assume you're joking - this is just a different food/culture/race association.
