Filament won't load...

I have the Prusa MKS3s, and I keep having my filament stop loading.  I have a new nozzle in right now, so that's not it.  I've heated to 260, still no dice.  The filament goes in, even goes into the tube, but based on what I get by forcibly pulling it out just to see, the filament seems to be going all the way down the tube in the extruder, then not coming out the other side.  even at 270.  What is going on here?

RE: Filament won't load...

Have you cut the filament to a point?
Try taking the nozzle out and see if the filament goes through then. 
if that is successful, then the nozzle is probably blocked. 
If the filament doesn't go through then you probably have a block in your PTFE

If your nozzle is blocked,  try heating the nozzle in your oven at 220C and poke any plastic out, with your accupuncture needle
