  A hardened nozzle for sure.

  You got this repair, you built this thing remember? You are the master of your printer.

    I think I’m just going to buy the part from Prusa.

    • They appear to be out of stock for PC - CF
    • PC releases harmful fumes and needs to be ventilated. I’m going to find a venting solution eventually but not now.
    • The part is way cheaper than a spool of the filament, I can get a few in case they break. I know I can print a lot of parts with that same filament but I don’t really have an interest in printing with PC - CF.

    Actually ended up printing the part with PETG. It worked and the issue is fixed (for now). Removing the broken part was a huge pain. I ended up using a drill and just drilling around where the nut is until I could fit tweezers onto the nut then I used the tweezers to keep the nut from moving and a screwdriver to loosen the nut until the part came out. All-in-all it was pretty time consuming and annoying. Hope I won’t have to do that again for a while.
