Last macro pic I'll post... Just what you said Slashee! That bowden was a mess, and now that I've finally got it out I'm going to replace it with a capricorn. Thanks for the help!

Ok bother, it's just what holds the clip thing for the bowden, and that bowden is still stuck deep down in there Ps - I'm getting to like macro too 😅

That nut looks interesting... Does anyone know what it takes appart? I might give it a go and see if it enables me to get at the bowden tube

Nozzle all clear, so definitively higher up

This happens to be one of the only 3d printing forums where people actually help out... Thanks for the help, anyway! So I've tried looking into the bowden tube, but I can only unclip the end near the extrusion; the end near the hot end doesn't want to come loose. I guess I could pull really hard and see what happens, but I'm scared of damaging the printer even more. What do you think I should do? I'm now trying to investigate the nozzle a bit, even though I changed it it might be the cause of the blockage... Thanks very much for your advice!

Hello everybody, I have had my Ender 3 v2 for 10 months now, and have just ran into a problem: it won’t extrude properly anymore. Looks something like under extrusion but at a very very extreme degree, only small little dots of plastic come out and barely link to form the model. I changed the extruder nozzle, but that worked for about 5 seconds and then same problem; I bumped up the extruder’s temperature to 220 degrees instead of my usual 200 (PLA print), and it worked once again for about 5 seconds before going back to the problem. The first picture in attachment shows the effect: some of the little hexagons that printed well are when I increased the temperature to 220, and then it progressively went back to doing the other hexagons under extruded. The problem first appeared at the end of this print, where instead of doing nice top layers it bungled it all up, as seen in the second picture attached. Any suggestion as to what the problem might be? After leaving it overnight, I now can’t extrude anything at all out of the nozzle: a small dot of PLA does leek through the 200 °c nozzle, but nothing more. And I tested by pushing myself on the filament in case the extruder was the problem, but no difference. Any help will really be greatly appreciated, it’s a pain not to be able to print stuff anymore!
