Instead of fixing the 3D-Printer I ripped out the thermistor from the old heater, and now failed to remove the heatbreak from the block, to mount my di-whyed solution instead. truly a dark day for the laura.

It might be that the solution is to heat the thing to 250°C and use the pipewrench, but I don't think I have the energy for that today...

@la welcome to the "this is stuck and I'm really frustrated" club

@noiob gonna take it to cccac tomorrow and introduce it to the blow torch.

classic case of "can't be stuck if it's liquid", except in this case the aluminium block will be liquified before the heatbrake connecting thingy melts.

And if that doesn't work I have a lathe and plenty of stainless steel at work. Having a job needs to be good for *something* am I right?

@la hell yea I knew putting the torch in the space was a good idea
