PLA Clicking noise from extruder and no filament comig out

I am new to Prusa printers, got my MINI last week. After few prints with PLA (noname and Prusa), the extruder starts clicking (and brushing the filament), while the extruder does not prints with enough filament. Lines are like beads on the thread. Cleaning did not help (even the cold pull). Filament is brushed by the feeder.

Can you post a photo of your hotend setup (make sure it includes the nozzle, heater block, etc)?

RE: PLA Clicking noise from extruder and no filament comig out

Im new to 3D printing and I’ve run into some problems. When I first got the printer everything was printing fine up until four weeks after when it stopped printing halfway through a print. When I unloaded it the filament had grooves in it from where the extruder chipped away at it. After seeing that I clean the extruder I raised the heat break and also replaced the nozzle and nothing works it can’t even get a first layer down without it getting chewed up. The weird thing is I can load and unload it and also purge and everything seems fine it only happens when I print.

This forum is full of people with underextrusion issues but the only ones that say they've solved them have replaced the entire hotend. I'm returning mine. If you want to fight it do this:

A Prusa tech recommended me to do the same and it works temporarily.
