I still think the slipping issue is weird, but I fixed it by tightening the tensioner spring more than I do on my other printers. It’s on the right side of the extruder behind the leveling probe. If you loosen the spring all the way you can get access to the extruder gears that interact with the filament. I recommend cleaning out any loose filament and metal with canned air and an acupuncture needle.
To tighten the hot end, I removed the entire extruder from the frame and started checking for loose bolts. The hot end has two screws that hold it to the extruder body on the heater block. Tightening those really helped my failure rate with fewer heat creep clogs.
Unfortunately, now I’m trying to figure out why my layer lines are so inconsistent and wobbly. I have lubed the rails and now I’m trying more temperatures. Hopefully I don’t have a wobbly z axis
