Prusa mini issue.

After several successful prints my mini has stopped printing. It will load, unload and purge the way it should but whenever I try to print I get something like this. I’ve tried several cold pulls and checked that the stepper motor is turning the pinion gear.

Yes. With some help from a friend and tech support we figured out that it needed a few cold pulls and redid the hot end to close up any voids.
