PSA for folks considering buying an Anycubic Kobra S1: Extruder module is prone to having filament getting stuck in gears if you get a clog.

I couldn't fix it with any tricks my coworkers and friends had suggested, decided to open the extruder (since it wouldn't take a new filament, so I knew it was stuck in there). Looks like either cuts on gears aren't deep enough, or motor doesn't provide enough torque to push the clogged filament trough.

I was really angry when others said they had to replace the whole module (especially since I went trough *one* spool of filament on this printer and it already broke), but it looks fixable. Just very annoying to do so.
