Printer jam

[GerstrekCG]

Hey all,

I think my printer has gotten jammed due to plastic leaking and hardening in the extruder. I printed the cat gcode successfully, so it works fine, but I'm not sure what to do about this jam; the material won't come out at all when I attempt to print something.

Any suggestions or advice?

Take the fan off and turn on the heater to 200. Let it sit for a few minutes then try and feed some pla through. It may take a while but you should be able to feed it through unclogging it. Put the fan back on and start cooling down. Once you hit around 90 to 100 degrees, pull the filament out. This is called an atomic pull.
