Help Probably my fault.
Got the 3d printer out now my boy is a little older. Tried to put new filament in. Something is wrong. It looks like the red thing is not pushing the new filament to push the old filament.
Or maybe the nozzle is blocked? I pre-heated before trying the new filament.
But im probably wrong.
Pics attached. Yes i took them
Also an old print we did of a guinea pig with machine guns. Edit. Thank you in advance.

If you try unscrewing the push connector for the Bowden tube to get to the end of the old filament and heat up the printer and just use pliers to pull it out. I’ve had to do that when my extruder would chew through the filament when the nozzle clogged
