So uuh, looks like my coworkers were right about SUNLU filament because it seems like it broke the printer :throwing-hands-up-crying:
I noticed that my last print failed and now I know why (filament wasn't coming out). Tried unloading it (which also failed) and had to do a cold-pull.
Frustrated I tossed that spool of SUNLU PLA filament into the "investigation/recycling" pile, tried loading Anycubic PETG but printer is just... not taking it.
I'm still new to 3D printing so have no idea how to troubleshoot it, hopefully it's a clogged nozzle (and not dead filament motor). TH looks... pretty intimidating to disassemble. Any tips?
