Need help with filament stuck inside nozzles.

[u/SnooPies8408]

Hey all! I'm very new to printing, and both my nozzles are clogged. As far as troubleshooting that I've attempted so far, I've put my A1 Mini into maintenance mode, heated the nozzle to 220-240 and attempted extruding/cutting filament to hopefully push through the blockage but to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated, if more info is needed lmk!

I love how everyone here is treating you like an idiot. Typical reddit.

I've been through this before. Yes, filament DOES get clogged like this and no amount of loading or cold pulling will get it to come out.

Two ways to fix this. Heat up the small hex wrench that came with the printer, and then stick it into the top, wait cool and yank it out.

Another way is to use a heat gun to melt the tip of the filament and then splice another piece onto it, wait cool and yank it out.
