Thank you. I did all that last night. I saw a YouTube video of a piece of filament stuck inside the extruder. When i took it apart the was no debris. I wiped it down and lubed it
After i reinstalled it, i fed filament through is and it worked great.
HOWEVER!!! When i reinstalled the new hotend i set the temp to 220 to try to extrude filament. The temperature on the dsiplay jumped all over the place - 163, 58, 117, 14, 68…and so on. It finally stopped at zero.
I quickly tapped the nozzle (shush) and it was cold. Turned the printer off and back on and tried again. Did it 3 times and stopped.
So now im wonderful if a sensor to the hotend went bad. That would explain the “printing” without actually printing and the clicking. If the hotend isn’t heating up, the the filament won’t push through and the gears will click.
So…now…how do I fix THIS?
