Turned on retraction speed to 11 and i guess it wore down the filament at one part but then managed to push it after some 10 minutes of spaghetti 👌

Anyone aware if that be re-melted or recycled back into filament, or is it pretty much done for?

If I had a 3D printer this would be nightmare fuel after waiting X hours for the print to complete lol

You get used to that being a possibility with every print. That’s why you should do everything in your power to have your printer always in shape and operational, although sometimes it will happen no matter what!

Unfortuneatly, this is just waste, straight to the bin.
