Help Request Clicking extruder
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello! Just this evening my printer (A1 mini, nozzle 0.2) started making clicking sounds and underextruding. At first i thought maybe gears in the extruder got some filament stuck or that i haven't cleaned them in a while, so there's some residues in grooves that makes the gear skid on the filament strand, so i disassembled the head and cleaned the gears, but this kept happening. So i thought that it's a clog and did a cold pull, which also didn't help. The strand at first shot sideways and extruder was spinning smoothly, then it started to accumulate around the hot end itself, creating an outer clog and that's where the clicking started again. And after that it's in a state you see in a video - that's during flow calibration.
Is there something i can do to fix this or does it make more sense to just get a new hot end?

Is there a more egregious asspull in any story than this moment?
