<p>I had a piece of filament break off in the tube and could not unload it so I removed the extruder and pulled out the piece. Reloaded filament and started to recalibrate. The head went to left and tried to keep going. It made a horrible thumping and would not stop until I turned the unit off. I then tried to home it, same result. Tried to reset to factory settings then home it and same result. Any ideas?</p>
