It sounds like the gear is slipping are you using a single or dual gear extruder?
Dual is recommended imo. But some things you can look at are if the tension on the extruder gear is too high or low it can cause chatter or slippage. Also high friction on the spool can cause slippage so make sure the filament spool spins with little effort.
If none of this works look at the gear it's possible it's just warn out and not catching the filament.
How do I inspect the gear? Also, I only got this printer a few weeks ago, so it shouldn't be worn out already?
