Help!! There is some kind of wire sticking out about 5 inches from the where you load filament into extruder.

This is on my brand new machine on setup. I tried pulling it out, but not successful.  Anyone received the same thing on assembled i3 MK3S+ and know how to remove it?

There should not be a wire where you are describing.  I agree a photo is needed.

Duh.  It was the filament.  When I went through the setup it heated it up and said to remove.  Guess I did not go far enough.  Thank you for the quick response.  BTY, silver/gray filament, so it looked like a wire.  Buddy is printing now!!

Just to exclude the trivial — it's really a wire, not some filament?

See my last post.  Yes it was filament.

I didn't see any other post than the one in which you mentioned the wire. So I guess you're all set now?

Yes, once heated up said remove filament.  Came right out.  This forum rocks.

Somtimes we miss the blindingly obvious...  

I have tried to print PETG at PLA temperatures... didn't go well!

took me a while to work out that I have picked the wrong roll of filament up!
