I have sometimes the same problem, but immediately after putting the filament into the feeder. So my issue is that the feeder is maybe dirty and cannot grab and transport the filament forward into the Bowden tube.
Your issue is nearly the same, the click sound comes from the feeder, trying to transport the filament forward but it cannot and the filament pushes back a little bit. You will also see that the filament is grinded when you unload it.
But you say, it will be forwarded through the Bowden tube to the nozzle. So then check if your Bowden tube is correctly mounted in the print head and check if your PTFE couple (the white thing with he spring) is deformed or looking bad. Maybe the filament pushes against this part and cannot be transported fully to the nozzle.
Thank you very much for the response! I opened the PTFE tube on the side of the extruder and put it back in, and now it prints perfectly! I think it was pushing to the coupler indeed.
We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
