Hi there! I have filament stuck in my extruder that will not go through the heat nozzle, even when fully heated. I have changed the nozzle. I have tried, forcing the filament through. I have tried using the load function and unload function on my printer. I’ve included a picture that shows as much as I can. what can I do to fix this?

It looks like you have a clog in your hotend. Here are a few things you can try to fix it:

Heat up the hotend to the temperature of the filament you are using and use a thin needle or small drill bit to carefully clear out any debris or filament that may be clogging the nozzle.
If the clog is more severe, you may need to disassemble the hotend and clean it thoroughly. Be sure to follow any disassembly and reassembly instructions that came with your printer.
Another option is to perform a cold pull or "atomic pull". To do this, heat up the hotend to the printing temperature, turn off the heat, and wait for the hotend to cool down. Then, gently pull the filament out of the hotend while it is still warm. This should pull out any clogs or debris with the filament.

Remember to be patient and careful while attempting to clear the clog, and to always take appropriate safety precautions when working with hot components. Good luck, and let me know if you need any further assista...

past creek Yes I have and the filament in the extruder does not move one bit

ok when you click confirm and u push new filament in

#

does it not go?

#

u might have a bulge of filament formed because u were initially trying to unload filament right?

No no it originally ran out of filament. Then I loaded this new filament but all was well for about 10 minutes of a print. Then, it stopped extruding all together and I replaced the nozzle as I thought it was jammed. Now, this filament will not push any further and allow new filament in.

I dont know that printer but does it have a manual thing to release the extruder gears from the filament?

No filament coming out of the hotend. I take apart the extruder assembly to find out why.
Turns out to be stuck filament. If you need help digging-out some stuck filament, I hope you find this helpful.

No :/ they gave some tools but not a full set unfortunately

#

If it did I don’t remember and I’ve lost them but there’s not hex keys in my tool drawer that I keep all of my 3D printer related tools in
