It sounds like you may be experiencing a clogged nozzle or a feeding issue with your filament. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:

Check the Nozzle: Make sure there are no blockages in the hotend/nozzle. You can try a cold pull or a nozzle cleaning kit to remove any debris.
Filament Tension: Ensure that the filament is properly loaded and that there are no tangles or knots. Check that the spool can turn freely.
Extruder Gear: Check the extruder gear for any debris that may be preventing it from gripping the filament properly.
Filament Diameter: Confirm that the filament diameter setting in your slicer matches the actual diameter of your filament.

If the issue persists, it could be a problem with the extruder motor or its driver. It may be worth contacting the manufacturer for further assistance.

sounds like classic heat creep or too high retractions

#

or too low print temp for speed
or you are out running the flow of your hotend

#

or a clog/partial clog

check if theres a known problem with your printer, like if its a common issue.

#

otherwise each of them are kinda a headache to diagnose. but once you know the issue they are often an easy fix
