Blocked extruder
I've been enjoying my MINI+ and have had a few successful prints, but recently I ran into an issue where my filament would neither load all the way nor unload- it's just jammed in there. I took apart the extruder section and it looks like it's blocked up in the nozzle before it gets to the gears, but I can't figure out a way to separate it from the rest of the casing without breaking something, and I can't get a grip on the remaining nub to get it out.
The instructions seem to think that the input nozzle should just pull out, but it doesn't seem to want to, and I didn't really want to force it in case I was reading it wrong. Any advice?
Push
Can you use a rod or piece of filament and push it out?

Fixed
My partner who is more confident with percussive maintenance than I forced it out. Now I get to try to reassemble the extruder in a way that doesn't make it click.
