The hot end is clogged fiercely with PLA- I'm not sure if it's fused to the ceramic in it, but- no method of unclogging that I've tried has worked. I've tried cold pull and feed through multiple times. The filament won't budge, and if I can't fix this, the printer is dead. The only solution I can think of is to fully replace the hot end with a donor. Alternative solutions are very very much welcome, as buying a new Ubis hotend online basically seems to be impossible.

Hi! Boosts appreciated.

I'm looking for a 1.75mm Ubis Hot End (Ceramic or Metal), as appeared in the ~2015 Printrbot models (also tips if you have spares). I'm willing to pay a good deal to have one shipped, but I don't know if I could adequately pay for an entire printer just for parts.

Edit: I managed to unclog the hot end using a stupid method, but I am still in the market for replacements, just in case.

Does anybody know:
- where to get a 1.75mm Ubis Ceramic Style hot end, as used in the Printrbot line of machines, circa 2015
- how to clean a hot end + nozzle that has half-a-decade old PLA stuck in it

Keep in mind that the last time I used a 3D printer I was 12, and I'm not very knowledgeable at all about this subject anymore.

Boosts are appreciated!
