Prusa Mini Help Please

Hey Everyone, first time posting here. 

I bought the pre build prusa mini - did the test print and all was well (XYZ test cube).
ever since I can not get it to print properly. I can get it to load and unload material and sometimes purge (ESUN PLA). 
Ive looked in the housing and there are plastic shavings everywhere so i followed the guide (hotend/motor walk thru)
loosened the extruder screw, didnt help
cleaned out the plastic in the gear housing, didnt help.
I am using ESUN PLA which I have 10 boxes of from using with my cetus and monprice.
I am loosened the extruder screw - wont take up, tightened it, chews through the media.
It says in the paper to just be flush with the housing for the screw - but thats just not working.
The hot end is clear - and like I said I can get it to load and unload, but it just will no push through the media when I hit print, it barely does the little line at the beginning then the head moves around and no plastic comes out at all
i would appreciate some help as i have wasted close to 8hrs trying to fix this with no luck.
