Finished several parts and suddenly it wont extrude anymore

Finished several parts and suddenly it wont extrude anymore.

I was printing flawlessly all day on my new i3Mk3. Printing single filament, but I do have an MMU2.
Tried to start a new part and I get a dribble for the purge line and almost nothing for the print. Switched to a different filament and now I'm not getting anything.
What are the procedures to trouble shoot?
Additional question: Is there a simple way to retract the Z axis?

Thanks,

Mike

You probably have a clog.

You can push and hold the button on the printer for a second or so, than you can move the z-axis by rotating the knob. Note that you can only move down if your z-axis has been homed already...

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
