I’ve posted on this thread before and received a lot of great advice. I’m new to printing, and I have been experimenting with different filaments other than Matte.

I tried a new translucent filament, and I’m severely regretting it.  Not only did it not extrude completely and fail twice on a test print, it is now stuck and I can’t get my nozzle to extrude anything.

I made sure to check the settings and thought I did it correctly, but after the 2nd failed test print, I decided to abandon this experiment.  I turned off my machine and let it sit for probably 20 minutes while I ate breakfast.

I came back and cut off the excess so that I can change it back to my matte filament.  I did what I usually do, I removed the hose, cut off about 1/4 inch from the top and spooled my new filament.  I hit the Load function on the machine, and it started clicking…. The new filament was not being pulled through.

So this is what I did:

•	⁠turned off machine, let it sit to cool down
•	⁠tried to pull out the nozzle, but it seemed harder than usual. After a few tugs it came out but the filament broke flush to the coil of the nozzle.
•	⁠I tried pulling out the transparent filament that was left in there and it snapped off.
•	⁠Now I’m left with what you see in the 2nd pic.

It will not move.  I tried pushing it out with a pick tool.  Tried pulling it out with pliers. I officially hate transparent filament because I’m worried that my nozzle is permanently messed up… it won’t even extrude what’s left in the chamber when I tried to reheat it and hit the load function again.

Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this? 

Nozzle no longer extruding after using translucent filament - how do I fix this?
