#3DPrinting folks, I fucked up my printer I believe, or at least I think there is definitely a problem. My nozzle is entirely clogged, there is one large piece of filament stuck in the nozzle itself that leads toward the hot end. I've tried everything I could to get it out and it won't budge. You see, I had to remove the boden tube but I accidentally completely remove the knut that connects to the part of the printer where the nozzle actually is and i was trying to wrench it back on and it was working until I tried a test print, then a bunch of filament got stuck and it won't come out of the hot end no mater how many times I try to purge it or run things that would heat up the PLA, so not sure what to do anymore. I have an original Ender 3.

You may need to disassemble the hot end to clean it.

@FritzAdalis Possibly, probably might haveto do that for sure I'm thinking.

Sometimes filament will melt further up above the nozzle and get jammed in there. I actually wrote up some instructions but didn't publish them yet because I didn't have photos, but you may not care about photos so much. I'll try to post them later tonight.
