A Big Blob with my 3d Printer

I had an eight hour print. I went to my Elegoo Centauri Carbon printer, thinking the print was done, but came to this issue:

A massive, solid blob. I saw that the cooling fan housing had fallen down.

The extruder has this solid mass all around it. I can’t get it of without breaking off the entire Z axis and extruder. Any thoughts?

I also posted a video about this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B89K6Q9L6jU

Well…I think I have solved the problem, well sort of. I have dug around and did a lot of research. I THINK I will be able to remove the heater head and extruder, then I will be able to get to that terrible blob. Now to get the time.

FINALLY got the time, now a month later. I pondered how I could get this blob off and clear the hothead. Well.. after much thought, I just pulled up my allen keys and disassembled the entire Extruder. Luckily the blob did not cover any of the screws nor the small electrical connectors for the themister and heathead nozzle. I unscrewed and gave it some thought on how to get that blob, solid blob, mind you, off. I just gave up. I just ordered a new heater head. It was just 20 bucks…

Yup, that blog is a doozy. The new heater head should be here in two weeks…
