Shut down my pc, forgot i was prinitng via pc. A Sv-06 it came to a halt and jammed up.  
Removed extruder drive, clearded it but now it will not feed filament or remove but the drive turns and sputters, will not purge filament manual or via control box. It’s my first 3d printer and all has been going well just forgot i was printing via usb. Any suggestions?  
Thiniking I may need a new extruder, not sure???
