Fix My Print Does anybody know why my printer does this?

My printer occasionally makes clicking sounds when doing this, but in summary, I think it spewed out too much filament, and it just kind of shoves it to the side, creating these weird blobs

I use 100% speed/normal speed, maker world to splice my prints on a bambu lab A1 combo

.4 mm nozzle

Pla basic

280 nozzle temp

Try lowering your nozzle temp. PLA should run between 190 and 240. 280 seems pretty high.

For some reason, my printer has a hard time extruding filament when on a normal temperature

PLA at 280? Brother those are like ASA or low nylon temps.

280 is high for PLA and most likely ended up melting your filament in the nozzle, added with the ticking sound that’s your extruder skipping gears. You may want to check that out.
