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?

Printer is a creality k1

    The pla has been pressed up into the casing. You need to clean that all carefully anyways. If you leave the hotend warm, it will peel off pretty easily. I have done that a couple of times. Something shabby and sharp and something for grabbing like small pliers should do it.
