Guitar string. It's probably a tiny bit in the nozzle. Better to clean it out now before it gets worse.

I would say yes.

I have the same issue at the moment, and it will only extrude for a few seconds before the filament backs up and strips in the extruder.

Partial clog?

When I click extrude my filament always curls up and sticks to the hot end. Is this an indication of a partial clog or is it normal? It has done this since day one when I had trouble removing the piece of filament that was left in during shipping.
