#Extruder slipping/clicking. Nozzle clogging?

So I just bought some Anycubic PLA+ Grey filament to print some Terrain pieces. I've tried over and over to print with it and everytime the extruder starts to click/skip after or during the infill pattern. I've tried changing the pattern, temperature, extrusion distance, turning on and off z-hopping. I'm at a loss as to what the issue could be. I just recently moved the extrusion gear down as I noticed the teeth were wore out where it was sitting and still the same issue.
I tried turning the print speed of the infill down and it actually started to do it sooner rather than later like before. I've got close to finishing the print 4 of 18 times.
I NEED HELP!
I have an Ender 3 Pro

It sounds like you are experiencing extrusion issues with your 3D printer while using Anycubic PLA+ Grey filament. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check the Filament: Make sure the filament is not tangled or stuck on the spool, causing inconsistent feed to the extruder.

  2. Check the Nozzle: Ensure that the nozzle is clean and free from any debris that could be obstructing the filament flow.

  3. Filament Diameter: Confirm that the filament diameter matches the settings in your slicer software. Using the wrong diameter setting can cause under or over-extrusion issues.

  4. Extruder Calibration: Calibrate your extruder steps/mm to ensure the proper amount of filament is being pushed through.

  5. Filament Tension: Adjust the tension on the extruder gear to ensure it is gripping the filament properly without causing it to skip.

  6. Check for Clogs: There might be a partial clog in the hotend or nozzle, causing the extruder to skip. Try cleanin...

the click noise could be coming from the nozzle coming in contact with the print

#

try re-leveling your bed

#

another solution could also be to try and unclog your nozzle

Here's a picture of the failed prints. I can visibly see the extruder gear 'slip' when I hear the click sound and it has happened before very briefly before continuing as normal.

I've also used eSun PLA+ before this exclusively with almost 0 issues

Did a full clean job and going to try it again at my normal settings that work on my eSun PLA+ to see if that worked

Nope still happening

Turns out it was a bed level issue. I feel so dumb right now
