Catastrophic clog

Newish i3 user, this is about our 10th print. Absolutely catastrophic clog.

I have no idea how to remove this, disassembly, heat it and burn it out, could really use some help.

RE: Catastrophic clog

That's not a clog.  That's a part detaching from the print bed and is caused by not enough bed adhesion.   

There are probably over a hundreds threads on here with similar tales of woe.  All of them have the same advice in.  

For example https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/recommendations-for-removing-a-massive-filament-blob-from-hotend/

or https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/when-a-print-goes-really-bad/

or https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/first-print-failed-catastrophically/

Anyway you hopefully get the point.  While the forum search is crap, googles is not.  "site:forum.prusa3d.com blob of doom" gets you lots of hits.
