P1P Extruder Jam Jig

thingiverse

The P1P has been a flawless printer for me. But cheap filaments will clog even the best printers and the P1P is kind of annoying to clear because you have to remove the extruder but if the filament is jammed you have press out the gear wheel. [Bambu official instructions](https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/troubleshooting/extruder-clog) say to use an allen key to press on the gear wheel bearing but this is problematic for 2 reasons. 1. Pressing on the bearing unevenly could damage it. 2. The underside of the extruder has a pin and two small extrusions that line up to the other side of the extruder box. Compressing and deforming those could cause trouble getting the extruder back together. This tool fits the P1P extruder and has an easy thumb lever to press out the bearing evenly without damaging the underside of the extruder. You use an M3x20mm screw to retain the thumb handle to the jig.
