It may be also cooling not enough, layers rise because of temperature too much and nozzle touches print too much, especially with overhangs. This stock add-on funnel for "pro" version gives nothing and without it is even worse, but not much smile I've added two fans on sides, it gives much improvement. Fine tuned funnels for 4cm fans, under the head. There is not much space, distance from print is like 1mm, but you can do it. Pay attention how limited is space during x homing, and z homing

1. Partial clogging of the nozzle.
2. Printing temperature is slightly lower than optimal.
3. Hotend fan can not cool down the throat efficiently.
4. High resistance in PFTE tube.

My extruder is clicking but its happening at random times. I have done the "manual" head leveling and adjusted the Z-offsett about as high as I can and still get a decent first layer. In the beginning of a print you doesnt "click". 10% in and it will click for a few layers. Then no clicking. a few more percent and it starts clicking again. Any one have any ideas as too what might be causing this? Im guessing clogging of the nozzle more than anything. Just wanted some opinions.

Thanks
