Walked away from a print this morning and came back to a blob being dragged all over the printer.

The blob of pla was in and around the hot end sleave and just everywhere.

Is this salvageable or do I need a replacement hot end?

I have saved one such hot end that had gotten plastic all over itself by heating it with a gas torch. The PLA burns off. Burned off the coloring on the aluminium too.

Next time I tried it, I melted the hot end.
