Is there any reason that little silver part of the extruder wouldn’t move and start clicking while printing when printing at 205 in PLA. It seems to turn just fine without any filament in there otherwise.

I cleaned out a nozzle clog, but is it possible there’s junk in the hot end stuck?

Resolution: Thanks for your help everyone! It ended up being a nozzle clog that I didn’t get all the way out. I ended up heating the printer up and doing the cool down trick. That seemed to work as a last ditch effort before buying a new nozzle.

I just test, unfortunately it looks like thats not the issue. But that raises the question, could the spring tension be to high?

in my case it was too cold. My HE doesn't work very well and every time this happens is because it's not heating enough

try upping the temp and try again, see if works
