So I have had two different builds that I had to end because the
filament stripped and stopped feeding. Has anyone experienced this? I
don't want to dismantle it but I am afraid I need to floss the teeth
on whatever feed gear is in there. I don't want to void a warranty. Ok
I DO but I'd rather not.

Too late. Curiousity got to me and I dismantled it and floss the gear of built up plastic. I have no idea why it stripped in the first place but its working again. I took a ton of photos of the dismantling and plan to post it. Now to reprint what I was trying to print earlier.
