PLA Blockage - Need Pro Tips

[btron]

Hi guys i would love some pro tips on fixing this problem?

PLA blockage

Heat it up and pull it out. Floss the extruder carefully with a piece of guitar wire. But be carful not to damage the soft aluminum extruder hole

what satoer said. Last time I used guitar string, I bought a set of 8s and they fit just fine. the nozzle is .35 as far as i can remember, and 0.08 or '8s' guitar strings are .256 as far as i recall. In anycase, they fit just fine. As tricky as it is, i heated up my hot end to 210-220C and fed the guitar string through the opposite direction to how it would extrude, and it fixed this problem. post here if you're still struggling.
