ender 3 v3 se clicking

hi all, still very new to all this. my v3 se has started making clicking noises during a print as if the feed gears on the direct drive are missing, does anyone have the same problem or any answers please.
Thanks

Hi, this usually happens when the filament is retracting and the correct tension has not been set.
See this and other video’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bACUeH6WDs
Quite easy to adjust mechanically but adjusting the retraction settings in Creality Print can also help.

Good Luck

It might be the extruder gear Issues, if the extruder gears are damaged or installed unevenly/crooked, they may also cause noise. You need to check for any broken gears or if the gears are installed evenly.
