Those Creality stock hotends can be problematic Have you checked the tube inside the hot end and checked if it is cooked/narrowed?

I'm planning on stress testing it so I'll report back.

I did a review on the PETG they sent me and it printed very, very nicely

What material?

I've been using a lot of the Matterhacker brands as of late. Pro Series PLA and they also have the less expensive Build Series too Pro series has a higher diameter tolerance of 0.02 while Build is +/- 0.05 Still great specs

Safety, Paul would want me to remind you that you are working with chemicals, so wear gloves and glasses, and print in a well ventilated room. Enjoy Les Yes!

Id think if the hot end is struggling you might get some temp errors on the controller.

Have you checked the tensioner? Clicking sounds like there's an issue moving the filament. Where is the clicking? I would imagine from the extruder having difficulty pushing the material. Is the hobbed gear set screw firmly in place, holding it to the extruder motor? Is it in good condition? Not a g...
