MakerBot/prints blob

Target Audience
Someone using makerbot and a blog grew on the print head.

Starting Point

 * If the PLA blob has not yet been removed .. follow these instructions.
 * Otherwise, am starting from having ripped off the kapton tape and insulation.
 * Have makercare service plan.
 * Have created a service Request #99335, and received ceramic tape in the mail.

Replication Goal
Repair the printhead so it looks new again.

Tutorial
These are videos describing taking apart the makerbot replicator 2 print head
 * the starting point
 * duct fan attachment
 * ceramic tape where does it go?
 * removed stepper motor, looking at original ceramic tape
 * duct fan mount removed
 * finding screws to remove block, nozzle assembly
 * heating elements, temperature sensor, tying to figure out where ceramic tape goes
 * failure to remove the bolts holding 2 blocks together
 * lost trying to figure out how to attach new ceramic tape

Makerbot responded to these videos with this: The second hole near the edge is actually supposed to be sliced open at the end. That should slip over the Thermal Barrier Tube, and the other hole goes around the nozzle. You can then remove that square of tape and secure it on top. These are videos of the repair job that succeeded!
 * planning how to proceed
 * figuring out where the holes go
 * planning how to loop sticking end on top of start
 * inspecting the results
 * adding more ceramic tape from original makerbot
 * putting everything back together
