Jam or clog. Time to back the filament out and disassemble your extruder to service it.
It's not clogged: I fished out the mangled piece of TPU and printed something else with it straightaway - several times. Not sure why it starts clicking like that with that filament. Worse: it seems to do it almost always at the same point in that print.
Did you losen the idler tension screws? TPE requires that the tension is very very light otherwise it tends to buckle around the gear before entering the nozzle tube. Reducing retractions to a minimum is also always a good idea, as well as limiting the max flow rate.
I wasn't aware. I'll look into this tomorrow. Thanks!
