Any tips on how to get PLA out of the groovemount threads? I can screw the groovemount on the threaded nozzle, but it turns really easy when hot because the pla acts like a lube.

Didn't it come off once it completely cooled down? I had a leaking MKIV copy once and it leaked pretty bad, but after the PLA leak cooled down, it was easy to snap it off the threads with a small screwdriver.

The groovemount is jammed. theres plastic stuck in the insert and then down in the threaded side.
How can I clean it out?

If some parts got stuck with PLA, heat them up to get the PLA soft.
