Prints started to get all wonky about a week ago. I couldn't figure out the problem. Changed the nozzle, tighten the belts, lubed the z screws, and cleaned the carbon fiber rods. Disassembled the extruder and I didn't see any clogging, but when I disassembled the hall sensor, I noticed a lot of wear. Then I found a piece of metal inside the extruder that I suspect broke off from the hall sensor somehow. A new extruder arrived yesterday and the X1C is printing like a champ again.

Are you trying a 3ed party extruder or going with the official replacement?

Official replacement. Already arrived and printing again.
