Morning surprise and how it has been resolved

After night of printing this creation held tight to my MK4S printer. I was lucky that there was a way to remove it from extruder by disassembly of fan holder and nozzle. It was still hot but solidified.

To remove it from the nozzle, I put it into hot air oven with 185 Celsius temperature for about an half an hour with wires protected from direct heat exposure by aluminium foil. Clot softened and I was able to cut it with knife and pliers until nozzle uncovered.

Then it was necessary to clean nozzle thread from plastic residue which got into it using a knife (no photos taken).

Printer is now back at work performing like before even with slight damage shown on the last photo.

Oh my god, best I think to change the nozzle, maybe it got blocked or what was the cause.

Is there a fire risk in this scenario, I print mostly through the night, the 3D print shop is adjacent to my bedroom, I do not want to be cremated until I pass on. LOL
