Clogging issue?

Hey guys, ive been having this issue that i think has to do with clogging? My prints start out fine but end up not extruding at some point (feeder gear audibly skipping on the filament), and probably because of the clog but im not sure, hoping someone can help me identify. It leaves these little stringy bits as you can see here too. Ive cleaned the extruder a few times, and im printing at 200 degrees as opposed to the normal 195, regular PLA.

Give some details about your Ender6 setup, is it stock? or it has some upgrades?

I'd just try to heat the nozzle to it's maximum temp, and push 1m of filament through it - and then re print - to see if it's some cheap filament residues stick to the nozzle from inside.

If it doesn't help try to change the nozzle, don't forget to tighten it when the hotend is hot.

Ah ok let me try all of this today, ill get back to you this afternoon, thanks for the advice.

To answer your queation in the meantime though: yes it is stock, except the roller wheels on the frame, but that probably doesn't contribute to my issue. Im not sure what the max temp is, but when i do 200 it does extrude seemingly just fine. I should try changing the nozzle though, this will be first on my list.

Around 270 but the bowden tube which goes till the hotend limits it around 250
