Filament skipping and clicking a lot
Hello,
I have been printing regularly with my printer for about a month now. Now I am running into an issue where the filament is skipping it seems.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue:

Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks

First things to test are the tension of the idler door screws and alignment of the extruder gears that feed the filament into the extruder.
Good video with tips:
here is a good Knowledge base article on the extruder gears with pictures to ensure they are aligned. https://help.prusa3d.com/article/3EMxwPQU0B-bondtech-extruder-gears .
Here is an article on clicking from the filament grinding. https://help.prusa3d.com/article/oqpnu51iy6-filament-grinding
Also some people have had trouble with the rod that goes through the extruder gears being misalingned. Let me see if I can find the post. Edit: found it. https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/general-discussion-announcements-and-releases-f69/prusa-mk3-working-solution-for-clicking-extruder-u-t25901.html
It looks as if you are extruding filament, are your prints working and it is just the clicking noise? That seems like it would be the tension on the screws and alignment of the extruder gears... If not, need more info on what is going wrong to help out.
but try the info in these links first and see if that helps!
