Clogged again

I just got my extruder unclogged, and now it is clogged again. Piece is stuck in the hotend and won't budge.

I'm going to replace my nozzle this time. Should I just heat it up and replace the nozzle, or take the whole thing apart to get the stuck bit of filament out ?

💡 have a look at this. tom not only gives hints about the type of nozzle to choose, he explains how to change a nozzle as well.

Re: Clogged again

Have you tried doing an 'atomic cleaning' or a 'cold pull'?

Hi all, I ended up pulling the extruder out again, and replacing the nozzle. I put a steel nozzle in, and it seems to work fine.
