It would be awesome if parts were available for this machine.
I would like a spare print head.
This is not a machine failure the part broke loose from the bed while I was out.
I should have washed the bed plate better.
King Aurthur indeed!
I had a similar incident after changing the nozzle on my Zovol Zero. I was able to recover with a heat gun, a few slight burns
, and some patience…
Yours is a lot more severe, maybe a hot iron, or a hack saw with wide teeth to keep the friction down? Just to take off the bulk of it, then the heat gun to finish the rest.
From the photo, I cant tell if the wires were torn off or not, but someone also suggested plugging it into the printer and setting a preheat for a hotter filament type, ABS etc, and then with some heat resistant gloves try to work it out of the filament blob.
Hope you are able to recover while looking/waiting for parts.

This was mine (PETG):
Just in case the nozzle change is the same for you, this video was shared with me for nozzle changes.
There is more damage than just the hot end, I could use a complete print head assembly.
Eddie sensor is also damaged and the cover and blower, but I think I can salvage the cover, or 3d print another one.
I have 2 spare hot ends.
They are out of stock.

I did the same thing, on my first print with ASA. By heating the edge of a utility knife blade, I was able (EVENTUALLY) to clear it. But not without cutting a wire on the thermister. I wasn’t able to find a thermister on Amazon. But, I did find the hotend kit.
Solid advice, Sovol got me taken care of.
