Does this hobby ever get easier or is it always like getting kicked in the nuts by Ronaldo?

Filament some how leaked up and burned on. I just don’t have it in me to keep tinkering. I just want to print

No worries! Thats exactly where it is. The burned on stuff goes all the way down the side and around the back.

I’m afraid this bing need to be totally taken apart but i haven’t done much more than investigate and pull at some easy pieces so far.

Keep in mind this is my first printer and I’m new to the hobby so I’m at the why isn’t this working and why did I do this to myself stage. This might not be a problem for more experienced people. Thankfully this community exists because I’d be lost otherwise

Thanks for explaining!

Also, IMO the “why isn’t this working, why did I do this” stage is a right of passage and sign of progress in any new activity! Keep on trucking!

Anytime. Thank you for your words of encouragement!
