Anyone ever seen a print do this?!!?
I was printing a game for my son overnight and when I came back in the morning, the printhead looked like this. It looks like one of the pieces delaminated from the print sheet and blocked everything for the rest of the print. Of course I was printing in black, so it's a little tough to see what happened in the pictures. Not sure if others have encountered this, but I am not entirely sure on what to do now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got to here and tried to add photos, but I keep getting an error. "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons." How can I add the pictures? I have tried .jpg, .jpeg, .tif, and .png.

Pictures can be added using the add media button, for example
However from your description it sounds like a ‘blob doom’. Plenty of existing posts about those. And yes they occur when the print detaches and filament just keeps extruding encasing the hot end. This is why having a scrupulous clean print plate and a dialled in live z height is so important.
Can be removed if you are careful, especially of the thin and delicate wires of the thermistor.
