I thought they had a hotfix for that extruder problem ....... Well when you get it back if it's working like it should I suggest sticking with that firmware. I'm still with firmware 1.1.1 and don't intend on upgrading.

When I had my jam, the clicking stopped when the gear finally wore through the filament. I had to pull the extruder, soak it in acetone, and chase it with a small drill bit.

The latest hotfix firmware fixed the issue. If you don't want to install the current firmware, then you will have to downgrade two back (or earlier).

Try and heat the hot end to about 10c under your normal print temp and then try the unload cycle again.

Anyone that can help me?
