Extruder clicking

After 1 month of great prints - in the middle of a print, the extruder stopped extruding filament and continued printing without filament 

I unloaded and reloaded filament (PETg) cleared the bowden tube, heated the hot end to 285 for 30 minutes - cleared all filament

Reloaded the PETg the extruder is clicking - I adjusted the 2 set screws, but still clicking 

Any ideas

Thank you for the reply

I have done that used the needle and tried to push filament through into the top of the nozzle- but  I am not seeing the filament coming through the gears and the clicking is quite loud  I cannot figure out why the print stopped pushing filament but kept on printing as if the filament was still flowing  I am very happy with this printers preformance

RE: Extruder clicking

You've got a clogged nozzle mate. Can be a pain to resolve, especially with CHT (HF) nozzles.
