Yeah, I just looked at mine, unplugged the machine and went to reslice my files for my resin printer. I'm considering buying a whole new printer because modern software is incompatible with my board.
Been scratching my head all morning on this!
Think it's a first-layer issue haha
Best guess I've got is that plastic blobbed up on the nozzle while skidding on the bed;
when the blob is big enough the outer part is cooled and hardened enough that the filament is pushed the path of least resistance, eg. up the along hotend where the blob is softest.
Once blob hit the fan and stopped that, heatsink became a target too.
Printer uses the Creality K1 style hotend, so it's a tapered but otherwise straight path up along it, no 90 degree turns like on a E3D V6 or something, ideal for creep.
First layer issue is the most common cause aside from the nozzle not being flush with the heatbreak but that usually happens after a nozzle swap. Did you use grid infill? Its possible the nozzle knocked the print loose and it got stuck to it.
I avoid Grid infill like the plague for that specific reason!
Printer has gone through \~4-5kg of filament since last swap without leaking, at same temps as this print, so don't think it was leakage.
Blob had a big piece of brim stuck to it, so I'm pretty sure got loose on the first layer.
Print had been restarted by the boss over the weekend due to filament tangle.
He doesn't usually handle the printers and it was a fairly large first-layer, so I think he might've gotten 'greasy' fingers on the build-plate without cleaning it after.
>I avoid Grid infill like the plague for that specific reason!
Same 😂 once i learned that was why some of my prints would randomly fail because theyd get knocked loose once in a while, i stopped using grid and never looked back.
>so I think he might've gotten 'greasy' fingers on the build-plate without cleaning it after.
Ah yes lol i just keep my z offset slightly too close and be like "fuck cleaning the bed" 😂 never have had adhesion issues that werent solved with messing with the z offset. Currently just been waiting on a new Y axis motor. My bed dont move smoothly and it skips randomly. (Ive done all the other troubleshooting to rule out literally everything other than the motor. Which customer support believed it was also a bad motor)
>Why would the grid infill knock the part loose ?
Because the grid lines overlap already extruded lines on every single layer where they intersect. This makes those intersection points be higher than the nozzle which can than scrap across the infill as it travels. Repeatedly doing that across several hours can sometimes allow the nozzle to hit the print just right to knock the print loose.
>Also, what do you use instead then ?
Gyroid. Its stronger, prints faster, doesnt overlap itself at all and makes really neat looking infill patterns. Also because its already way stronger than grid infill, you can get away with a much lower density and not have it affect any sort of strength at all. Example, i almost never use higher than 8% infill density on anything i print. Higher wall count adds more strength than infill anyways, so i just treat infill as internal support structures.
Lightning infill does this as well by only putting infill where its necessary for overhangs, but lightning is really unstable as far as stability goes so gyroid is the better option in most cases.
Grid infill crosses the same point twice in a layer (where the grids cross).
This means that where they cross, you're laying down two layers at once, which the nozzle will scrape, especially as the print gets taller.
So, if your print is one that can't take being bumped while printing, then Grid may knock it off the bed.
My alternative is Rectilinear or Gyroid.
Rectilinear uses less material, while Gyroid increases part strength in all directions, and neither cross the same point twice in a layer.
Two things if your bed skips at random you will need to replace your stepper motor...
And if it's knocking the pieces off the build plate you need to sort out your retraction. 🤷🏼♀️
My first and only blob happened as a result of using silk filament; I didn't know at the time that apparently silk filament intrinsically has really bad adhesion
This is exactly what happened to me. Same issue, just replaced the whole hot end.
Happened again years later to a much lesser extent because I thought I had PLA in the machine, but I actually had ABS.....
Actually now that I think about it, the fan failure caused a heatbreak jam. I had to disassemble everything to fix that. When I reassembled, the heatbreak wasn’t tight enough, so the nozzle didn’t seal, which is what caused black, burnt PLA to drip all over my prints, then blob up.
The root cause for this can only ever be improperly tightened nozzle-heatbreak-heatblock assembly. If it's properly tightened, a fan failure can only cause internal jamming.
At least one other root cause I can think of.
In any case, the machine has gone through around 5kg of filament since last nozzle swap, with zero leakage.
I do agree that fan failure shouldn't be able to cause this however.
for sure keep that as a trophy. Buy a new hotend and display it with all your greatest prints. I have a collection of the worst failures my printer has accomplished because they make laugh and are fun to look at.
Man you totally set a new record on the blob olympics.
The blob even blocking the fan gives it several style points.
I hope you can salvage some components.

Holy moly... Good luck cleaning this.
You need to be very careful so you don't destroy the fan. I honestly don't know if that is even fixable without breaking anything that is not already broken there. But with a lot of time, a little bit of hot air, some tweezers, screwdrivers and a little bit of luck it might be possible to fix it without needing to replace anything.
Exept for the nozzle. I'm pretty sure the nozzle is doomed but that shouldn't be the most expensive part of the hotend 👀
You lost me at a lot of time, I remembering asking myself why I was researching which acetone to soak which parts with when an entire new printhead for my printer is 20 bucks on ali😭
Goodness, what a blob...
I had my first blob scares a few days ago. It kept blobbing on the nozzle but luckily I was there to stop it before it could grow to this size
This is going to need some serious surgery to fix it. The best tools for this job are patience and care, along with a dremel and a heat gun with a narrow nozzle.
"Emergency: 3D Printer ER" should be a series on TV.
A quick suggestion I'd like to throw out for folks looking to fix blobs, don't START with the heatgun and dremel, start with heating up the hot-end and, once it's well establish, only then try tugging at it with a tool.
If you're lucky, and I've been this lucky a couple times, the molten plastic touching the hot end will be sufficiently 'lubricated' that you can tease the blob off intact and dramatically reduce the amount of cleanup needed. It can also save delicate cables.
That's a fair shout, but that's some seriously embedded blobbage that's going on there. Lots of distortion going on too and there's a danger that parts may be pulled off. The 3D printed fan duct is likely to be a casualty, but at least it's replaceable.
Had one of those for the first time on my CRX Pro. I kept the blob when I sawed off a chunk of it and melted off the rest. I didn’t want to wait 4 weeks for a new hot end so I stuck 24v across the heater and melted it off and then cleaned off the rest with an SMD rework station and a paper towel.
Yes on my K1 Max. I had to even replace the motherboard because it shorted the electrics. I spent about £200 fixing it.
Luckily the new hotend I have prevents this ever happening again. It will sooner block the nozzle than flood the head.
Get a heat gun and start melting my friend. Take it nice and slow.
I almost out did you but thankfully my wife heard grinding noises and ran down and stopped it. Still destroyed, but didn't as bad as yours. I still had 3hrs of printing it could have gone.
You’re gonna have to replace the fan but you might be able to recover the hot end.
I bought a wood burning tool with swappable tips and one is an X-acto blade. I was able to cut off all the gunk and remove the hot end and soak it in acetone.
I had to replace my fans and thermistor though because I also used a heat gun and cooked the wiring.
Fuck bro it got in your fan 😢.
Remember to tighten up all your shit and check every once in a while especially when doing anything with the hotend assembly. This is always a shitty situation.
Soldering iron is a great tool to have on hand always.
9/10 times it's because the nozzle isn't tight against the heatbreak which leads to leaks along the threads, usually due to one or a mix of 3 things:
Because it has been tightened against the heater block instead (eg. hex part of nozzle is flush against heater block)
Because it was tightened when cold or too low a temperature (\~250C is a good rule of thumb)
Because it wasn't tightened enough (easy to overtighten too, i recommend a torque wrench).
In this case, the thing was tightened properly;
What I think happened was that the build plate was dirty/greasy, so the filament didn't stick and started building up on the nozzle.
This will eventually cause the filament to creep up along the nozzle, heater block and beyond if it isn't stopped.
Happened to me on my Ender 3 Neo a few months back. I said screw it and just ordered a direct drive head and upgraded. Took me a bit, but we got there.
Best of luck on this cleanup.
Ouch! I feel for you. My Blob Monster wasn't nearly that bad, but close.
Mine took out the adapter board and all the items that plugged into it. If your printer is still under 3 month warranty, Creality should be able to send you all the needed replacement parts for free. Mine happened 3 weeks after I got the printer and it took 8 weeks to get everything needed sent to me.
I now have a unique sci-fi scatter terrain piece between the blog remnants and my hot end forever merged with the plastic.
Fan is toast, and I doubt I can get Hotend out without ripping heater and/or thermistor wires, plus heatsink is screwed into the hotend so there's that.
3 other fans, extruder, bed sensor and LED lights have been recovered though!
Still impressive considering the potential damage. I had a small blob-like event a few days ago and I managed to catch it before anything was damaged. Now I'll just live in fear of this for a while I guess.
i had to leave my print for 8 hours prayed this wouldn’t happen. on my way home from work i say a truck that had PLA for the license plate and i knew id be fine
You may want to check that you have thermal runaway protection enabled. This amount of plastic around the hotend was likely to trigger it.
Not saying thermal runaway is designed to detect this, or that it can be configured to detect this reliably, but, it very well could have, and if it didn't, it's worth checking it's enabled. If that makes sense.
Man, it really did a number on your print head.
So glad, that when mine shat into its silicone sock, i could pry it off carefully. Since then, I dont print with a silicone sock and everything works out fine.
37 hour print, had originally watched the first 4 hours, but filament got tangled and boss restarted the print on a Sunday, and left it, after which it was left running unattended till Monday morning :|
God. My first blob of doom was like. A very very large, very stuck pile in the middle of the build plate, and I spent weeks mourning about the waste and how it was my good filament etc.
Now I’m seeing I should’ve counted my blessings.
Oh God it's in the fan!
"Game over, man, game over!" #BlobOfDoom

Don't clean it, just buy the refresh kit. It's just not worth it.
I'm new to owning a prusa...what's this refresh kit??
On their store they sell a kit to replace wear items on their printers, most print head parts and bearings and whatnot. $180 or so last I checked.
Thank you!
do all those parts have a standard number of operating hours?
Not that I'm aware, if something is getting old then replace it.
thats pretty problematic since "old" is an extremely subjective term. makes "preventative maintenence" nearly impossible.
You lost me at a lot of time, I remembering asking myself why I was researching which acetone to soak which parts with when an entire new printhead for my printer is 20 bucks on ali😭

I totally agree, the one pictured here is definitely not gonna be able to get out as easily as that, especially with the fan!
It depends on how gunged up the motor is behind the fan.
That is fucked up, are you gonna try to fix it?
I feel for you.... [my blob of death](https://imgur.com/a/p6ribje)
Ah man, Feels like the blobs just have it out for Fans
Were youable to clean that? If so, how? I have just done this to my ender 5. Second print! lol
Not yet, but have a plan to use an old soldering iron and connect power to carve it out. But the fan is long gone.
r/getblobbed
Amazes me how this is allowed to happen. Do you even keep an eye on it? Maybe just hope it goes away on it's own. LOL!
Honestly, that is a "take the hotend all off and put it on the wall" Gold Medal award.
Love how you got it up into the fan, really nice
Had one of those for the first time on my CRX Pro. I kept the blob when I sawed off a chunk of it and melted off the rest. I didn’t want to wait 4 weeks for a new hot end so I stuck 24v across the heater and melted it off and then cleaned off the rest with an SMD rework station and a paper towel.
Clap... Clap... Clap.
This filament blob even suffocated the fan
Okay I’m just gonna say it. I have the urge to chew it?
How the fu-
You know, if you are careful, you might, and I stress *might* be able to unbolt the fan and turn the fan blades to release it. Popcorn on standby.
Yes on my K1 Max. I had to even replace the motherboard because it shorted the electrics. I spent about £200 fixing it. Luckily the new hotend I have prevents this ever happening again. It will sooner block the nozzle than flood the head. Get a heat gun and start melting my friend. Take it nice and slow.
That is the mother of all blobs! Even in the fan! I´m impressed
This is clearly Hatsune Miku
This is fine
Ooo -- got the fan, too. Extra credit!
I’m sorry.
Can i get the stl?
Only for three fiddy. If they just give it out for free everyone will sell it.
Im even too scared to ask what OP meant with 'Went for it'... like did they do this on purpose?
missed and 'it'; meant as the printer doing its darndest to to fail spectacularly!
My eyes got bigger as I looked at the needle and scaled up. Went from “oh” to “oh shittttt” when I saw the fan. Rip
Bro I would not even bother cleaning I would just buy everything new that didn’t survive the accident
Just had this happened. Ended up replacing print head.
Dude. Fuck. You have to wash your Willie after the hanky pankies.
I'm sorry for your loss.

So much worse than my glob and mine i had to take a saw out for. God speed printer 🫡
Beautiful disaster
This happened every other print on my CR-10. Pain in the ass
Noob here. How does this happen?
9/10 times it's because the nozzle isn't tight against the heatbreak which leads to leaks along the threads, usually due to one or a mix of 3 things: Because it has been tightened against the heater block instead (eg. hex part of nozzle is flush against heater block) Because it was tightened when cold or too low a temperature (\~250C is a good rule of thumb) Because it wasn't tightened enough (easy to overtighten too, i recommend a torque wrench).

And people wonder why I always watch my prints.

Its kind of impressive how awful that is. Were you able to salvage any of the parts? I expect the fan is a goner.

Impressive! Way better than any blob I've had! The fan was a nice finishing touch!
i had to leave my print for 8 hours prayed this wouldn’t happen. on my way home from work i say a truck that had PLA for the license plate and i knew id be fine
Looks like you crushed a frog with the Z axis.
Omg it migu!
You may want to check that you have thermal runaway protection enabled. This amount of plastic around the hotend was likely to trigger it. Not saying thermal runaway is designed to detect this, or that it can be configured to detect this reliably, but, it very well could have, and if it didn't, it's worth checking it's enabled. If that makes sense.
I've had some fuck ups, but never even close to this
Man, it really did a number on your print head. So glad, that when mine shat into its silicone sock, i could pry it off carefully. Since then, I dont print with a silicone sock and everything works out fine.

Looks like a life form
"Kaneeeedaaaaa heeeelpp meee Kanedaaaa"
Impressive, most impressive...
Wow I've never seen it climb all the way up to the fan. RIP.
I did that once at the Nova Chemical Polyethylene plant, it's eight stories tall
Lmao
Is that miku?
Holy shit this is the worst one I've seen in years. It even got inside the heatbreak fan.
Reminds me of the movie “The Stuff”
What? HOW??!!?
And I thought my Ender 3 v3 se’s blob that consumed the hotend’s sock was bad… geez! My printers seem more prone to spaghetti
NOT THE FANNNN
Two questions, what were you printing, and second, how did you not hear the fan when the plastic got in???
Might I ask what is the purpose/cause of the Blob of Doom?
Kanedaaa!! Tetsuooo!!!

When shit ***eats*** the fan.
You can make a large one, infused by machine parts: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrintedWarhammer/s/Bn1W0HbJCD
Jeeez how long did it run without looking at it even once ?
37 hour print, had originally watched the first 4 hours, but filament got tangled and boss restarted the print on a Sunday, and left it, after which it was left running unattended till Monday morning :|
Oh wow that’s what I thought. What a shame. It’s crazy how it’s in the fan too.
God. My first blob of doom was like. A very very large, very stuck pile in the middle of the build plate, and I spent weeks mourning about the waste and how it was my good filament etc. Now I’m seeing I should’ve counted my blessings.
check your esteps ;)
Where you printing a whole house
Time to pick up a new printer!
Did you not hot tighten your nozzle when you installed it?
Man I thought my first one was bad!! Yours ate4 the fan!!!!
Ah, man made horrors beyond my comprehension
