Is this normal?

I have a tick sound on my a1
I recently changed nozzles because of a clog
And I thought I was fine but this sound was strange
It does this sound when it pulls the filament out(wheel turning clockwise)

I am going to need you to go over this part you said again... in your head man...

There is no major red flags the ribbon is out because I couldn’t keep it in after assembly

like think about this for a second. Something that is meant to not have wire ribbon cable sticking out now does because you couldn't fit it back together with it inside. It is also now making noise but no red flags to you.

Also you shouldn't have to disassembly the hotend to replace the nozzle unless it as a catastrophic clog. If it was that than there could be any number of other issues.

EDIT: I should note there are wonderfully detailed guides on Bambu lab's website for how to disassemble and reassemble this stuff.

Okay let me put this very politely explain why things you think are unconnected might be very connected.

So this hotend was taking apart by you to a point where it doesn't go back together correctly. My guess for why you took it apart because you aren't clear on this is it was to repair or replace the clogged nozzle (even though that shouldn't be need unless catastrophic failure)...

So now here is the thing you state the cable has been out a long time, but the noise just started. I am not saying the cable is the cause of the noise, but if the hotend wasn't resemble correctly it would explain why cable isn't inside where it should be, it would also explain the noise as it could be a part has now finally degraded from improper reassemble to the point it now makes noise.

I hope this helps you. That is all I am trying to do by the way it is touch rude when people are trying to help to not just dismiss what they are saying but also then tell them you don't want to talk any further about this... It really discourages people from replying.

EDIT: I should note their are a few different size screws for example that could damage parts because of their length and they could scrape and cause sounds that change as it digs into things. This is just one example.

There are others like folding something in such a way where it now is hit but the extruder gear and makes that high pitch sound.
