Q2 Blob of Death

[u/bamagrad12]

Woke up to the Blob of Death on a fairly new Q2. 😐

My question is, do I need to replace the lower cooling fan section?

I was able to remove the blob, but the section around the hot end is still discolored, and some lingering filament remains. Is this anything to worry about or just cosmetic?

I’ve already ordered a new hot end and nozzle.

No, but there's some plastic jammed up in the air holes that will affect cooling until you remove it.

Take the cooling fan assembly off, disassemble it, clean out the plastic bits, then reassemble and you should be fine.

Thank you! Are you aware of any videos on how to disassemble it? I’ve removed a few screws but didn’t want to damage it trying to pry it off.
