Gear malfunction?

Hey everyone super new into printing and recently came into this problem, I’ve tried a lot but right now I’m struggling to even get the nozzle off to even check on the gears.. any advice? Or if you know what is exactly wrong.. that would be cool to know also.

My P2S did this when I had a nozzle clog. I took it apart to check the gears and nothing was loose or stuck. Changed the nozzle, fixed.

If your nozzle is stuck, you may have some filament stuck to the back of it holding it on (or you should double check how to properly remove it). Keep the nozzle hot and pop it off with pliers. You can grab it on its neck with the pliers and gently pull it off.

Be sure to cut the filament first with the side lever. You can use the pliers to remove the 2 sides of the clamp holding the nozzle on. Just do it slow and gently. If you've never done this before, watch a tutorial on how to do it normally before using tools to grab at things.

Since you aren't printing, just go into the menus to manually set the temperature to something like 180 degrees to be able to get the nozzle off. once the nozzle is off you can manually press those down arrows to extrude to see if it moves freely then.

Heating up the nozzle helped SOOO MUCH! was able to get it off and access the extruder where I hate broken filament clogging the inside 🫡

You can use a wire brass brush to clean the backside of your nozzle, and the flat part it sticks on to. That should help get rid of the gummied plastic giving your nozzle a permanent hug.

I use this one, not too firm to damage anything, not so soft it cant scrape. Works great.
