       PSA for folks considering buying an Anycubic Kobra S1: Extruder module is prone to having filament getting stuck in gears if you get a clog.I couldn't fix it with any tricks my coworkers and friends had suggested, decided to open the extruder (since it wouldn't take a new filament, so I knew it was stuck in there). Looks like either cuts on gears aren't deep enough, or motor doesn't provide enough torque to push the clogged filament trough.I was really angry when others said they had to replace the whole module (especially since I went trough *one* spool of filament on this printer and it already broke), but it looks fixable. Just very annoying to do so.

       @elly i can’t quite make it out from the picture, but pushing that lever didn’t do anything? o.othat sounds like incredibly poor design on the manufacturer’s part, but… this is a tricky part to make, and honestly i’ve seen worse failure modes. still, :neocat_hug: glad you’re getting this fixed
