    I had symptoms similar to yours, TJ. Cleaned out the nozzle (even redrilled it), replace the PTFE tube, you name it, I did it. The clicking continued. Turns I was was using bad filament. Switched brands and the clicking stopped.

    At this point you probably already know that you either have a heat issue (not enough heat getting to the nozzle) or your filament is bad.

    The filament I'm using I've been running for months, it is getting toward the tail end of the roll though. As far as heat is concerned I have no accurate way to measure it. I'll go pick up a laser thermometer in the next day or two. It gets very hot, and the temp on the printer itself read 227c, when loading/unloading filament.

    Using Octave ABS if anyone has experience with them.

    Thank you for everything, I'll try a different roll (Same brand) Might just try PLA and see if it will work for now.

    Update: Tried a new roll of green ABS. Must be heat.

    Would you suggest replacing the heater? Or the temperature probe? Or both?
