Jiggle the wires, see if that helps. Searching the forum should turn up a lot. Easily fixed if you can solder.

Try pushing filament through at your max temp, or with a guitar string. The best method is letting it sit for a couple of hours in acetone if you were using ABS.

No smooth forward motion.  Even if i pressed on the filament to assists the drive gear feeding it through still clicks.   I have been printing all weekend a few 7hr prints. Is  it possible i burned out my motor? I did notice some weird blobbing on a few parts i'd never seen before.  Other than that nothing unusual.  Loose connection maybe? I checked all the connections to make sure they are secure and there was no change to the extrusion.  Any ideas?
