The clog is a common issue in 3D printers. When your printer is unable to extrude filament, it is essential to identify the specific component causing the problem.
Note: Before performing these steps, disconnect the AMS if it is connected. (Video4)

Note: When working with high temperatures, it is essential to prioritize safety. Please ensure to wear heat insulation gloves to protect yourself from burns.
Heat the nozzle to the printing temperature recommended for the loaded filament.
Open the front housing assembly and use the filament cutter to cut off the filament.
Remove the two screws that secure the hotend in place and remove the hotend from the extruder.
Hold the hotend and manually insert a piece of filament into it.
If filament can pass through the hotend without obstruction, there is no clog. Otherwise, if a clog is present in the hotend. Please refer to Nozzle clog for instructions on how to clean it.

After checking for a clog in the hotend, it is important to also inspect the extruder. Utilize the on-screen buttons or controls to extrude a small amount of filament.
If filament can be fed and pulled back normally, there is no clog in the extruder. Otherwise, if there are difficulties, the extruder may be clogged. Please refer to Extruder Clog for instructions on how to clean it.
