Simplest way to unclog HF .4 nozzle
Hi all,
Was having some issues with the Core one and some prints that would stop midway and could hear the extruder not managing to push filament. Noticed that somehow it seemed like a piece of filament got stuck in the nozzle.
I removed the nozzle for another one as I wanted to print something, there was a piece of filament sticking out of it, but as I tried to see if it would just come loose it actually broke and now there's still some inside the nozzle.
I'm still not sure why it clogged, but I'd like to save this nozzle if possible, what would be the best way to go around it?
Heat gun and somehow push it?

@filaruina - open the nextruder, heat to printing temperature or a fraction higher, push 30cm of filament down the nozzle tube by hand to push it through, finish by pulling out the pushing filament as fast as you can. You may need to temporarily disable a couple of sensors whilst doing this.
@gbmaryland - dry your filament(s)
Cheerio,

I more tend to see filament breaking in the extruder assembly. I've had that happen alot with Overture PLA, but also with some other filaments.
