Keep getting failed to feed on CC1 Cancas

Hey all, im about 80 hours into an 88 hour print so Im really looking for some help to save this.

My canvas is acting a bit off lately. Every color swap is giving my a failure to feed error. There's no tangles or anything that would prevent Canvas from feeding, when I hit retry, it heats up to temp, attempts to feed, and I have to seemingly help give the filament a little push through. I do feel like I hear a clicking and then it feeds fine. After that itll print find for a bit but itll happen again on the next color swap, all 3 colors are doing this at the same time.

Mind you, it was doing just fine for the last 3 days of printing.

Im out of town now but if I can get suggestions to try when I get home, it would be much appreciated!

UPDATE: I'm home now and caught it in the act. When the CANVAS is pushing filament up towards the head, it seems like it just can't anymore, like thevgears are trying to turn, butbeither they cant grip the filament, or arent strong enough. If I give the filament a little push, it gets the rest of the way. I think the click i was describing might better be the sound of something stuck getting unstuck.

UPDATE 2: Unfortunately I had to stop thevprint to start troubleshooting, good news its just some terrain for 40k and I got what is needed to print. After toying around with it I believe something in the print head, either the 4 to 1 or something in the extruder, are stopping just barely blocking the filament from entering. For example, if i push down on the 4 to 1, the filament is suddenly free to go into the spot its trying to get to. The CANVAS is fine, but it can't force it passed whatever is blocking it. At this point I think i just need to call in Elegoo support and see if they can do anything.

Can the Exorcist use it's ability when Direct Firing?

Hey all, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I looked for a while and I couldn't find an answer.

I ran my Exorcist for the first time. Since Indirect fire is in a pretty rough spot, I decided to have it move and get vision on enemies. I shot an enemy monster using Direct Fire and did some wounds. We then weren't sure if this activated the Devastating Refrain ability. I argued it did because the weapon was still an Indirect Fire weapon despite not using the ability, but he argued that Indirect fire is a type of shooting and my model wasn't using it, so the ability isn't activated.

After looking online and not being able to find any guidance, we just rolled off for whether the ability activates, which I won. It didn't come up again because the Exorcist was rushed by 20 Berserkers, but I'm still thinking about it now.

Just installed CANVAS, printhead fans won't turn off

Hey all, dealing with an issue that I'm not having any luck googling. I installed CANVAS last night, did a test print, had some issues but was able to troubleshoot them myself, all seemed good.

Today I turned my printer on and stepped away to my computer to work on the model. When I went down to actually start the print, it had a printhead anomaly error and the fans were at max, and told me to reboot. I hit the reboot button, and when it restarted the model and side fans both were going as fast as possible again. I ignored it to make sure it could still print, did my quick print which came out fine, but even after the hotend cooled down the fans were still on.

I tried turning them off in settings but that didn't do anything. According to the settings they were already off. I tried hitting the switch on the printer but that didn't do anything, when it came on the fans started right up.

Is this normal for CANVAS to keep the fans running even while the hotend is cool and it isn't printing? If it isn't, any clue to whats going on?

I reheated some French dip I had as leftovers, smelled delicious. As im about to sit and eat, see this floating in the broth

Its a fly in case it isn't obvious. I dont think hes new, looks like he got in the first time I made it and packed up the leftovers. Its been in an airtight container so hes just been marinating. Guess im ordering something now.
