Fast answer
Extruder clicking means the extruder cannot push filament smoothly. Check for clogs, low temperature, too much speed, filament drag, or extruder tension problems.
Look at the first failed area, the material, and the slicer profile before changing settings.
Check filament dryness, nozzle temperature, bed setup, belts, and the profile baseline.
Use a small calibration print so you can see which change actually improves the result.
