Maybe try this first - it worked for me when I couldn't reload filament after I ran out of filament during a print. Release the M3x40 idler screw from the left side of the extruder as described in Step 4. Open the flap on the other side and look for a bit of filament sticking out of the PTFE tube. I was able to pull it out with minimal force using some needle nose pliers. No need to replace the PTFE tube.
Brilliant tip. Thanks. Saved me unnecessary dismantling. Similar experience, I completely removed the idler screw but then released the other screws as described so creating the gap in photo 1 of step 5, I could then see a very small piece of filament resting in the top of the ptfe tube which was preventing filament from loading, managed to remove it with a small pair of tweezers. To be honest, careful use of a vacuum may also have got it out had i known in advance
You're a life saver! I tried this first and I could see a small piece of filament sticking out of the tube and it was off centre... probably from a bad unload. I took what I could out of the top then reloaded some filament while using the needle on the other end and boom, our popped the clog without having to replace anything! Thanks so much for the tip!
The link to your eshop for replacement PTFE tudes still points to the old URL https://www.shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printer-parts/… instead of the new one https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printer-parts/……
