Filement keeps getting stuck between PTFE and nozzle

Hey all,

I've had this issue 3 times now in the past 3 weeks, my head will stop extruding and I will get the noise where the extruder gear is slipping trying to Force filament through unsuccessfully, trying to retract the filament also doesn't work, it's well and truly stuck. If I disassemble the hot end I find that the filament has either stuck to the metal after the tubing and before the nozzle or formed a ball. If I clean it out and reassemble the hot end it all works fine. Or at least it works for about a week and then does the same thing, today I did the same thing to fix it, but then the same issue started up again 5 minutes later when I try to run the first layer calibration.

Does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
