Filiment jam

Printing a glow in the dark unicorn horn for my daughter using inland luminous PLA. Checked on it and it had quit extruding. Upon further review the filiment it had somehow jammed up in the extruded motor. I removed the clear plastic cover to clean it out before I thought to take a picture. Any thoughts?

Update.. I also discovered that the thermistor has boken loose from the RTV.

It is likely that your current settings are a bit high for your extruder motor and as a result, the extruder overheats and melts your plastic at the motor.
Check
Guanu's post here and see if lowering your extruder motors current helps.
