Filament stuck in hotend

I was printing too much - so when switching from Hatchbox Glow to Prusa Vanilla White... something went wrong and the printer jammed hard.

The issue turned out to be filament stuck in the nozzle.  

I removed the nozzle and heated it in a jar of boiling water. That softened the PLA in the back sufficiently that I could stick a needle into it, let it cool, then pull out the 58mm back section of the jam.

 

Used boiling water to soften the filament. Got out a 58mm section with a needle.

There still appeared to be filament stuck in at the thread section of the nozzle - even though I could get a 0.4mm wire all the way through the nozzle. 

So I reinstalled, heated to 155 C and loaded some PRUSA White ABS.  After purging about 20 cm of that, I switched to a cleaning filament and purged about the same amount of that through the printer.

Now I am back printing again.
