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.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
