You really don't need the fan for ABS, I don't use it.

If the extruder is clicking then it seems it can't feed at the rate being asked for. Could be printing to fast, temp to low, some kind of obstruction or a problem with the filament. Some thoughts.

QIDI's Excellent customer service are sending 2 new nozzles.

The issue i now have if anyone can help. On the left nozzle I have printed 10 things 2 PLA in QIDI FILAMENT and 8 in ABS of 4 USE 3D filament.
Of the 2 PLA 1 failed and 1 had an odd discrepancy part way through
Of the ABS 3 are perfect but since the clicking 5 have stopped part way through. Same settings on heat and bed as the 3 perfect ones

Could it be a filament quality issue or a fan cooling issue. I have a piece that i printed 3 times, twice stopped in same place the third time i upped the temp and it printed a bit more but after where it had stopped previous but consistency was different and then still stopped
