What? I originated the post and am not trying to look clever, I am seeking answers to my post about my A1 extrusion problems
The same thing happened to me last night, 99% of the time I will take the tip of the filament and flex it to see if it breaks off, if it does then it has absorbed moisture and is brittle and I put it in my heater for about 10 hours. This time I must have been distracted and didn’t check, I was manually feeding it in when the previous filament ran out and when it reached the extruder junction, my guess is a piece broke off and laid sideways blocking the filament. After a few minutes of troubleshooting (20-30), i removed all four PTFE tubes from the extruder and fed the filament into each opening to see if it would move the bit and extrude, it did! I then kept poking filament into each opening and must have pushed the broken piece in and was able to extrude it and by that time, restart my print…All that being said it would be nice to be able to EASILY remove the four into one as that would solve many issues.
shall i save you the embarrassment ? it would of done if you`d read my reply
rather than question my integrity
took extruder apart and found a piece of filament stuck inside. removed it with some tweezers, brushed the gears clean took a cutip with some alcohol . put everything back together. BINGO! printing back online !
The bambu wiki is very clear and easy to follow.

Don’t believe everything that you think pal
NOT there yet . im in my 50’s getting there !
At least you started shingling the other side of the roof
I tore apart the hub and the hot end and found this
Once it was removed the printer is working good
The spool ran out during the next print so I installed som blue filament to finish the job

its really not that hard . the bambu wiki is very good for taking apart and replacing parts . they did an excellent job.
Same issue.
Whatever pteg or pla filament i put via ams or original spool loader, loading does not happen. the filaments move correctly in the ptfe tubes.
the wheel on the extruder jumps. the load function on the screen does not complete.
