Extruder Skipping, looking for suggestions

At this point, I noticed that when the gears skip, you can see the hot end move. It shifts down a few mm, then as the “click” happens, you can see it snap back upward, showing that the resistance to the filament is in the hot end/nozzle, as if it wasn’t really getting as hot as the measurements said.

If your seeing the hotend actually move…it’s probably these screws.
If not, the nozzle holder (heater).

A1 Mini & A1 Users: Solved: Screw fell out of toolhead

I’ve seen a few posts here & doing a Google search over the weekend after it happened to me. I noticed my first layer was bad, tramming the bed didn’t fix it. I changed the Z-Offset in Bambu Studio, it worked for a few prints. The Z -Offset would change during the print. The last print I started having extrusion issues. During a calibration a screw fell out of the toolhead. I took the toolhead apart & couldn’t find where the screw came from, I was at a lost & put in a support ticket. Support…
