How Do You Clean Out A Built Plate Motor?

2 years ago

To start, ignore the sketchy wall plugs in the background. that circuit has no power to it. I now use it to keep plugs within reach, until I need them.

Concerning the 3D printer:
It's a Elegoo Mars 2 Mono and my only 3D printer. After a month of not using it, I've found the screw bolt, that lowers and rises the build plate, not moving. I stupidly walked out of the room after starting a print and found it had slammed into the vat and splash resin inside the cover.

Through deductive reasoning, my assumption is resin somehow leaked into the bolt's motor and hardened while it sat unused. Then as the motor heated, it suddenly broke the resin loose and sent the plate down. Blessfully, the screen still works. I now just need instructions on removing and cleaning the bolt's motor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
