Resuming offset print
I woke up to printer needing filament change but kept saying stuck filament, I open the idler and sure enough some is stuck in there, I manage to get it out with pliers but pulled the nextruder in the process. When I resumed printing it attempted to print offset by about 5cm. I try pausing and resuming, eventually just turn it off again to force a callibration but now it's starting at 0%.
My question is can I...
1. Figure out what % it got to?
2. Start the same print at a certain %?
Or do I need to guess the layer it has failed on and slice the file there and glue 2 prints together?
Thanks wasn't sure what to search for or if it's not a big deal, I think it was around 85% done but didn't make a note of the actual number.

Glueing is probably the way forward this time.
when I get a stuck filament, I initially try re heating the extruder, letting it sit a while, then pressing the filament into the extruder to try and re form the end of the filament, after which the print often completes.
an abstract approach to displacing the extruder, is forcing an extruder collision this should cause the printer to re home X and Y Axis and then attempt to continue
