Re: extruder pinch wheel sticking

Are you printing with PLA? if your hotend fan is not cooling the aluminum pinch wheel enough or you decide to reduce fan speed or even turn off fans when printing, this is what you get. I did that before. make sure your fans are powerful enough and cooling the aluminum pinch wheel enough. Also make sure the air circulation is good. no heat accumulate around the hotend
