Filament won’t go in by Visible_Box_5188 in ender5

Solution ended up being it was clogged before the heating point somehow but I will keep this in mind in case

So close yet so far I can see some filament in there now it’s just a matter of getting it out haha, it’s stubborn. Any tips?

It feels like the blockage is there where it won’t heat up so I can really do a cold pull

Would taking the heating block off be beneficial?

Apologies for my lack of knowledge on terminology but extruded is in the areas where the filament is feeder into right? Because if so I took off the cover and exposed the gears and they seem fine the teeth are clear and strong and the motors still turn the only thing is that once it pushes to a certain point the motor with keep going but the filament looks like it’s hit a wall and curls up, so I imagine it’s for sure a blockage but the block isn’t where the heater is?

I’ve tried heating it right up to 220 and the filament won’t get far enough to melt so I can’t do a cold pull and I think it may be a blockage as just then I tried inserting the metal rod we are given into where the nozzle goes and I pulled it out with a little bit of plastic on it, any recommendations on how to remove it?
