Re: Filament is stuck in the extruder
You could try reassembling, heating it up to the high-end of your print temps, raising Z, removing the nozzle, loosening the extruder tension screws and using a 1.5mm rounded rod (or wrench) to push gently from the top. I was able to clear a small PTFE clog this way:
With a bit of luck you'll be able to clear it without PTFE damage. Otherwise you're looking at replacing the PTFE tubing.
