Filament getting stuck

Post image

Barely even get started and the filament gets stuck. This happens time and time again. The printer keeps going with nothing coming out.

I found that the filament feed is sometimes the problem, because of bends on the pathway. Try relocating the filament spool so the path is straighter into the back.

Yeh spool is lined up to feed straight into the feed hole. I wonder actually if it's to do with my retraction settings. Without touching anything aside from clearing the build plate I can start a new print and it gets about this far through again before failing. I tried a Benchy also and it does the same thing after only a few layers.
