It sounds like you may be experiencing a clog in your printer's nozzle. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
-
Check the filament path: Make sure the filament is properly loaded and feeding into the extruder. Ensure there are no tangles or knots in the filament spool.
-
Heat up the nozzle: Heat the hotend to the recommended temperature for your filament type (usually around 200-220°C for PLA). Use the "Preheat" function on your printer to do this.
-
Manually extrude filament: Once the nozzle is heated, try manually pushing the filament through the extruder to check for any resistance or blockages. You can do this by accessing the "Move" or "Extrude" option in your printer's menu.

I have used specific needles and stuff to clean the nozzle. I've tried pushing in filiment but It literally wont push through. Nothing will extrude and even when I try to push it through it wont go through. This is after I tried the unclogging techniques
When u were unclogging, did u see the needle go thru?
And is the nozzle at 235degC when trying to extrude filament?
Finally, which exact techniques did u try?

I used a needle one and it did go though but it felt like it hit something. I tried 235 degc but when I checked th3 filiment wasn't even hot. Which is weird cause the nozzle does infact get hot. I tried using a tool specifically for it and cleaner filiment but it did nothing again felt like I was hitting something hard.
