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.

My old i3 clone came with a 1mm steel rod I use in these situations. Leave the extruder on your printer, cut the filament off, heat up the extruder to a normal printing temp, and push the gunk through the nozzle. If you have a cold side clog you're probably going to have to add heat from something like a heat gun.
