Clicking sound when purging

Hi All,

 

I'm having some problems with my printer. At the beginning of the print the extruder extrudes the filament smoothly but as time goes by it would extrude in short halting motions causing an uneven print with a fuzzy surface. I have tried reloading the filament as well as well as doing a cold pull. When I purge it does it in short halting motions and have a clicking sound before it purges normaly again. We've had this printer for a couple months and it was printing regulary before. 

 

Thanks!

 

Kathy

What is the filament?

At what temperature are you printing?

How are you drying your filament?

Cheerio,

RE: Clicking sound when purging

Sounds like a partial jam or jam.  I agree with Diem, you should make sure it is dried also.
