Can't unload filament. Filament stuck at the top where it goes in.

It seems that all of the can't unload filament articles deal with the filament stuck in the extruder. Mine is stuck at the top between the idler and where you put it in the hole. Any ideas?

When you open the idler door can you see the filament? In which case needle-nosed pliers should do the trick. If not, try pushing it down with a 2.5mm Allen wrench. I don't see where the filament could be stuck there above the idler.

I actually had this happen once on my older MK3, never knew why. open the idler door cut the filament and remove it and the offending bulb that you cut off.

 

Enjoy
