The extruder is calibrated, the hotend is cleaned and properly assembled, the nozzle is not clogged, and the filament is dry (it works normally on another printer). During printing, there is a popping sound of the filament and visible air coming out of the nozzle.In addition, the Teflon tube is inserted all the way.
have any idea?

Based on the information provided, it sounds like you could be experiencing a phenomenon known as "extruder skipping" or "extruder clicking". This typically occurs when the filament cannot be pushed through the nozzle effectively.

Here are a few potential causes and solutions:

  1. Heat issue: Ensure that your hotend temperature is sufficiently high for the type of filament you are using. Inadequate heat can prevent the filament from melting properly, causing air bubbles to form. Try slightly increasing the hotend temperature.

  2. Filament diameter inconsistency: Measure the diameter of your filament with calipers at multiple points. If you find variations, adjust the filament diameter setting in your slicer software to ensure it matches the actual filament diameter.

  3. Extrusion speed: If you're printing at high speeds, the filament may not be able to melt efficiently, leading to air pockets. Try reducing the print speed to see if it improves the extrusion.

  4. Partial clog in the...
