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

    Thank you, that did the trick to remove it!

    If i were to leave something like that, is there a risk of a fire starting?

      I’m not going to say no, however my nozzle has been pretty gross for a long time between cleanings and never been an issue.

      The bigger danger is that the thermocouple could fail and allow runaway heating (beyond 300c). But most good print firmware is supposed to prevent that.

      Not really. Nothing on the printer get hot enough for that.

      But there is a large risk of the extruded plastic adhering to it and of it contaminating your print.
