I have another one if neccessary, but I think the screw shafts on it are clogged with plastic, so it might take some work as well.

@Interstellar_1 Bambu has documented a procedure that works flawlessly when I've used it. Don't know if it can apply to your hotend or not. Look for "hot hex wrench unclogging method" on this page. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/troubleshooting/nozzle-clog

Thanks, after inspecting the clog this seems like the ideal thing to try. I also think I might know how this happened now too, the filament dryer might have heated the room to a temperature where heat creep was easier.
