    I was printing something overnight, and the filament suddenly jammed. The machine 'finished' the print, however only the bottom half of the print was actually done. When I tried checking the filament through an un-load/load, there is a clicking noise and I am unable to load the filament into the machine. It only goes 1/2 way in then jams. How do I fix this? And, how do I prevent this in the future?

    Hey there the E3 pro is different than the E3 but if your printing PLA, heat up to ABS temperature on the hotend, try to push the filament through, you only need a little bit to push through then pull out the filament. Your doing this manually. The routines probably won’t help as you’ve likely ground down your filament at the extruder gear. Does the e3 pro come with a spare hotend like the E3 did ?
