Assembly Finished - Unable to feed filament into the extruder
When I get to the part of the setup wizard where I'm supposed to insert filament into the extruder, the ABS filament goes in about 1 cm and stops or seems blocked. I jiggle the filament but no luck. How do I diagnose this problem? How do I take apart the extruder while it's on the printer?

As so often a problem that the filament sensor is not properly adjusted. Check the status on the LCD. Filament loaded = 1, not loaded = 0.

The top problem I see if the magnets being in wrong or the screw holding the sensor being too tight.

Thanks for the prompt response but this was my mistake. I put the extruder idler wheel in backwards. I've fixed and calibrated it and am printing some test prints.
No IR sensor hassles here (yet)
Thanks again for your help.

Don't get it wrong, but usually the problem is in front of the printer. At least it is with me 👍
happy printing!
