In this case, after heating up the head, the filament must be pulled out manually.
;)
Do you even have an i3 pro b? I cant just pull it out! it doesn't come out!
Pre-heat the nozzle to your filament temperature, then press and hold the filament clamp leaver on the extruder and pull the filament out in one smooth fast motion.

If it don't come out, keeping the filament clamp pressed, try extruding a little by pushing the filament down with your hand, and then try to pull the filament out in one smooth fast motion.

Hope this helps.

Hi, try to take off the fan and heatsink, check how the motor moves, and maybe there is some filament fractured inside.
If it's really difficult to do that, please contact the sales for replacement.
