Hotend covered in filament?
I bought my MK3S second hand earlier in the summer and was printing fine. I took a break for a few months and when I went to load filament, it would not come through the hot end. I decided it was time to do the upgrade to the MK3S+ (the upgrade kit came with the printer) and completed disassembly. When I opened up the extruder assembly and took out the hot end it appears to be covered in melted filament. I looked at pictures of the original parts and it seems like everything is fine "underneath" but just want to make sure there are not any concerns from the community.
Do you think this is fine as long as I can clean off the filament? Any tips for doing so? I was thinking of using a heat gun to help take off the layer of filament. Let me know what you all think and thank you for the time.
