Description

This simple tool makes it a bit easier to remove the plugs from the hotend without damaging any wiring, or putting undue strain on the printhead.

The tool is used as follows. :-

Heater: slide it over the plug and pull.

Fan: push it over the ridge. I put the lower edge over first then the top edge. It will click over then pull.

Thermistor: slide over the connector with the arms top and bottom, pull with a slight upward force on the tool so it grabs the bottom edge, which is also a release catch. It should come out very easily.

It's not perfect as the tool is so small it is almost beyond the detail required with a .4mm nozzle. It would probably print really nicely on a 0.2mm nozzle.

Mit 0,2mm Düse gedruckt, kam gut raus. Der Einsatz des kleinen Helfers möchte trotzdem geübt werden.

Printed this in Tough PLA in anticipation of swapping out my hotend. So glad I did - it made unplugging everything so much easier.
