tiny plastic pipe. But held the assembly wrongly, and pulled the thing

Anyone got a broken one lying around where the head might be ok? I bought
a new printer, but it's not as good in some ways.

Dip the whole cartridge in metholated spirit and leave it for a day. Most
inks are based on something similar to metholated spirit as their solvent,
so it works wonders on cleaning the heads.

Possibly useful advice in general - but he's broken it now anyway...
