When you are extruding using the control panel, look at the feeder. Is the gear actually rotating? On some people's machines, the gear has become loose. It's held on by a set screw.

A 3D scanner makes that magic. It's sci-fi replication come to life. Glue together the part that broke, scan it and then print out a new one.

If you can't unclog a jam, then hot glue gun printers aren't for you.

If it's coming out at an angle it might be a clog. Also maybe your bed height is off?

Try trimming the filament with scissors before inserting into the nozzle, this has helped me a lot of times.
