It's printing again. Thanks for the tip. Wasn't too bad of a fix after all.
And yes, the PLA seemed quite brittle around the feeder. There was a crack/split inside the bowden tube, right above the feeder, and for about an inch or two below the feeder...then it seemed to become more pliable.
One other thing, the feeder end of the bowden tube looks a little rough...
Is this normal?

Remove bowden at both ends, try to pull it or push it out. Once I had to completely bring the bowden over to pan with boiling water but hopefully it isn't that bad.
Is your filament so brittle that it is cracking in the bowden by any chance? If so it's a bad batch. Otherwise there are tons of reasons for getting lots of jams. Let me know about cracking first though.
