How To Replace The Heat Block On Your 3D Printer: Step-by-Step Guide

The most common reason why you need to change the heat block on your 3d printer is a stripped nozzle thread. If you change nozzles pretty regularly like me then, eventually, you are going to wear out the threads in the aluminium heat blocks that are supplied with most of the lower budget 3d printers. The new parts are not expensive and replacing your heat block can be done quickly and safely if you follow these steps. If you'd rather change the whole hotend then I have a video linked here and in the description. Changing the whole hotend is slightly easier but costs a little more. If you want to just change the heatblock then you're in the right place.
