			<description><![CDATA[<p>if the clicking/slipping is grinding off plastic instead of advancing it,&nbsp; then you probably have a clogged nozzle or your extruder temp isn&#039;t high enough.&nbsp; &nbsp;there are many how-tos and techniques to unclogging nozzle on here and elsewhere.&nbsp; not knowing exactly what we&nbsp; are working with i can&#039;t give specific advice.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>i will mention a couple of things i did wrong when unclogging:</p><p>You might be able to unclog it with a piece of e-string guitar wire.&nbsp; Be careful to not scratch the insides with the wire.</p><p>If you get to the point of having to remove the nozzle from heat break dont force it.&nbsp; I ruined mine that way.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think you have to unscrew it while it is hot and the plastic is molten.&nbsp; &nbsp;Mine was a stock solidoodle hot end so it wasn&#039;t a huge loss.</p><p>edit:&nbsp; watched first video.&nbsp; That is exactly what i saw so i stand behind clogged nozzle or too cold extrusion .. maybe add 5 deg to your hotend temp assuming you are not already at some really high level.&nbsp; </p><p>also,&nbsp; the filament clamp might be too tight.&nbsp; i also ran into this problem before i diagnosed the clogged nozzle.&nbsp; Typically it only needs to be tight enough to engage the teeth into the filament.&nbsp; a symptom it is too loose is where the wheel is smoothly grinding the edge off the filament (ie no jerking.. )</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, was wondering if there is a fix for this issue:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhWNHeGJRuY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhWNHeGJRuY</a></p><p>Its causing terrible printing:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvvd8agolIY&amp;t=8s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvvd8agolIY&amp;t=8s</a></p><br /><p>Ive read around on here about the trimpot adjustment and tightening the screw to the wheel.&nbsp; Is that all or is there any other fix?&nbsp; Incredibly annoying to say the least and makes the printer rather useless.</p>]]></description>
