In this video i'm going to show you how to safely remove a hotend blob from your 3d printer without causing any damage.

Firstly, don't panic.
It can be quite easy when you see something go so obviously wrong with a print to immediately start pulling on the melted mess or cutting away parts.
This is nowhere near as bad a problem as it looks and, if you are careful, you may get away without replacing anything and be back printing within about 10 minutes.
