Blocked Nozzle??
Hi There, I cannot load a new filament as there is a blockage. It'd not the nozzle as I can push the needel in a fair way so it's somethin further up the tube. Not sure how to approach this problem but wonder if I need to drop the whole of the hot assembly out to see where the blockage is?
Thanks,
John
Attempt to load flament. It will fail. Mark the filament at the point where it enters the extruder (sharpie) and unload.
Now offer the filament up against the extruder, aligning your mark, and you will see how far down the blockage is.
Cheerio,

Thanks Diem. I've taken out the Hot Asembly and can see where the filament is but not sure how to get it out. Its broken off at the top of the tube and I cannot get any grip on it to pull it out. Even if I could the filament needs to be heated up for it to be pulled out.
See the pic attached.
