PTFE Tube Stuck in Hotend
-
The PTFE tube that came installed from the factory is either melted inside the print head / hot end, or is stuck somehow. I don't want to yank on it too hard, as that would risk breaking the plastic off inside the hot end.
Additionally, I'm now getting PLA leaks around the print nozzle. I'm concerned that I have a malfunctioning/bad from the factory heatsink/hotend assembly.
I've emailed kickstartersupport@creality.com and have received no replies.

@admin - I've tried that already. However, the PTFE tube is literally stuck inside the hotend. I can't push it through, I can't pull it out. It's stuck (thus I can't use it to clear out any debris).
I do not see any damage.

Clean up the nozzle kit according to the video, and provide photos if any damage is found after disassembly. https://we.tl/t-lWL5iOvCgt
