I recently ran into an issue where my extruder was clicking and after that I wanted to share how to tear down the extruder on the A1/A1 mini.

Thanks for showing this. Haven't had any problems with mine yet, but now I won't be as nervous if I need to take it apart. I will definitely watch your video again if needing to take mine apart.

Your welcome and thank you for watching

Disassembly of the whole extruder does not make a lot of sense in this case (clicking). I would suggest switch nozzle and check upper connection for AMS, this resolves the clicking issue in most of the cases

You are 💯 correct and that is what I should of done to start

What was wrong with the extruder? Clicking sound happens when i'm using the 0.2 nozzle. Maybe my settings too.

Being new I thought it was the extruder but it ended up being a nozzle issue, I swapped nozzles after I tore it down and that fixed the issue. Your .2 might be clogged.

What are the signs of when your hot end needs to be replaced?

In my case I had a clog I could not get out, and was leading to under extrusion of filament. Also the filament couldn't pass threw the nozzle(clog) the extruder was clicking.
