I use creator pros but it sounds like you just need to take apart your extruder and remove the filament

I have a dreamer and this has happened to me once before. As the other person on this thread suggested, you really need to disassemble the extruder to take the plastic out. If you try to pull it out, you may cause it to snap more, which won’t help. In addition, if it is stuck, you can’t just pull it out. Be careful while disassembling it, and make sure to follow any instructions in the manual (I don’t think flashforge tells you how though). I’ve included a link to a youtube video for the extruder on a flashforge dreamer, which may be similar enough to help a bit. Once you disassemble it, you should be able to pick out the filament. Good luck!
