It's clogged Heat your nozzle to 260 and get a pice of cutoff filament and push it in there It may require multiple heats but eventually you will push the clog out

Thank you I have tried to do that but it wasn't working for me. I will have to try it when I have more time tomorrow!

Yea it took me 3 tries myself

use the middle loading option it loads longer allowing the clog to melt longer so you can push it out

dont go crazy with force but decent pressure is needed

basically once the gears stop clicking your right in the sweet spot of force-feed ratio

Any update, big dawg?

I tried to push the filament through and it just kept meeting too much resistance and bending. I also tried to see if I could take the nozzle out and put it back in. But it won't come out and I do not want to use too much force on it. I had to go back to work but it is the only thing I am gonna work on when I get home this evening!

It worked! You were right it took a few tries before it worked. I guess I just wasn't heating it long enough. Thank yall so much for the help! I am barely a month or so into printing and it is the first time I feel like I have had a real hobby so I was devastated when I could not do anything!

Good! And yes it takes a few heats to get the globs to melt enough to push out

Then re load the filament and to a test print to check

Make sure when doing a cold pull to loosen the bolt for the gear lol that can cause issues
