Hottend Clogged extremely
Hello guys,
I was trying to print something a little biger over night and it seems that it did't adhere to the plate and therefore the hottend got clogged extremely. I currently don't know what to do because also cables are in the big blob of PLA.
I hope that anyone can help me with my issue. Picutres are added
Kind regards

I use a temperature controlled soldering iron to carefully carve the plastic off the outside of the blob whilst heating up from the inside with the heater block,
Be very careful with the thermistor and heater wires, they are fragile.
Be very careful not to short circuit the heater and thermistor wires together, I turn the power off if I am wire brushing the hot end.
