Fuck you, no it doesn't. Go search anywhere on the topic and half the replies are people saying, "I tried hitting it with a torch/heat gun/lighter and it didn't make any difference!"

The only solution is V I O L E N C E.

>I think this dude just can't work a gear puller properly.
It was a combination of only having an automotive gear puller on hand that was slightly too big for the job, plus the gear itself being made of fucking silly putty and deforming under the slightest pressure, causing the puller to slip.

Baby, honey, sweetheart my prints were going just fine, too. I had maxed out the capabilities of the stock Ender 3. The only path to improvement was to upgrade and modify it. I started with a silent board. Then I did an all-metal extruder. Next I'll add an automatic leveler, then a better metal heat break. Finally, I'll get around to setting up octoprint so I can record my prints and control them remotely.

After I've done all of that, I'll look at dual extrusion for soluble supports and multicolor prints.

I was tempted but I didn't have a good place to throw metal shavings. My penthouse didn't come with a workshop and the garage is 63 floors down.

>my coworker's printer (forget what it is, maybe a crx pro) had red loctite holding its extruder gear on.
Fucking cursed.
