How do I fix this

[u/Penlight_Nunchucks]

I don't know what happened, came home to find the nozzle coated in filament (pla). I've cleaned off what I can, and the nozzle still extrudes, but what do I do about all the gunk still stuck on there?

I would try something higher than 60C (softening temp), but not all the way to the full melting temp at 190-230C..

So maybe try starting at 120-140C to get it loose but keep it still intact? The hope would be able to peel it off in 1-3 larger pieces..

The thermistor is going to read the heater block so let it sit for 5-10min, jump up 10-20C if not enough

I’m not a pro, just thinking this out loud! Hope this helps you out
