You also might have a leak.

After last night's print the PLA was glued to the hotend. Not sure how this could happen. I was able to get rid of the PLA below the hotend with the nozzle set to 260 degrees. Unfortunately the PLA above the nozzle is strongly glued to the hotend, I can't detach it (Please see picture below).

I couldn't find a similar case on this forum unfortunately? Does anyone have experience with this case and how to detach the PLA?
