Just my update, freeze problem solved after chg to use lcd controller. After a few days I got clogged. It filament was stuck at the push connector somehow. Clean that up and it is printing again. thx all

Hmmm....shudnt get happy so fast...after 20 mins of printing, notice filament leaking on top of the heated block...try to tighten it but I think I screwed too hard n d whole heated block disconnected fr the heat sink...possible fix for this or will need to replace the hotend?

It seems the broken part is called thermal break...anywhere selling that part?

Leaking from between the heater block and the thermal break/barrel means the threads are worn or possibly damaged.

I would recommend cleaning out all the PLA in the thermal break and the thread by picking out the PLA bits with a tweezers and some heat (hot air gun or hair dryer). If the threading on the thermal break is stil there, you can save it by using some PTFE/Teflon tape (plumber white tape) on the male end (probably the heater block threads that's like a bolt) but don't use too much as it can damage the threading and make it difficult to assemble back.

Also, I think tightening it without cleaning out the leaking PLA could have damaged the thread further because the leak PLA when its cool and hard, is quite solid on its own. I would recommend warming the thermal break before opening or tightening so the PLA gets soft and pliable to work on.

What type of hotend are you using?

Try online like eBay, ali express, or from your reprap supplier?

Hotend fr blomker kossel set ... he dont sell the thermal break only...any idea if kossel mini can fit other hotend ?

Will try to get the thermal break fr aliexpress ...

anyone has a spare NEMA 17 stepper i can buy off them? PM me. Urgent

I attached a non standard hotend to my 3D printer with a custom made 3D printed adapter. You should be able to find designs for x-carriage with other hotend profiles for kossel in Thingiverse.

Wow. Looks cool! How do I start this hobby?

Purchase a diy kit bro, or you can follow bill of material of which 3d printer you want and find it locally. And dont forget to do research and youtube for 3d printer, Prusa i3 is easy to build

Im start by buying a kit from aliexpress prusa i3 but i dont recommended it cause you will stuck their firmware only, better find something that you can tweak around with so that you will know about your 3d printer from the mechanical, electronic and firmware. with little browse maybe this is ok? prusa i3 it also come with 2kg of filament or maybe other otai here can suggest you better printer
