You may have cleared it enough that you could try to heat and extrude it.
By the way, you only need to post once. No one works here but we as users will try to answer you as soon as life permits.
So you might want to go back and delete the unanswered threads.

Re: printer head tool snapped off in nozzle
Thanks-sorry didn't mean to post multiple times. Deleted extras.
My concern is that the item that is stuck now is metal and if I put in filament and heat it it may have the effect of gluing in the littel metal piece. I guess it couldn't hurt at this point. If that fails does anyone know if Best Buy can repair these sort of units or where I can go to get it repaired.?
Even though it is metal stuck in there do you think heating and extruding might get it out?
thanks
