Hello. Can someone help me find the cause of the printer head clogging at a certain point during printing, the motor spins and tries to feed the filament, but the filament doesn't advance. I have an Ender 3 v3 ke.

You most likely have a cold end clog.

#

Means soft material got stuck hopefully just between extruder and hotend

#

You can open the printhead and try removing the hot end. If you are lucky thats all it takes
