Clogging Every Other Print

I have been printing the same part successfully for over a week. Until I ran out of filament. I printed another print that went well while I awaited the new spools. Then on last Tuesday my shipment of filament arrived and I resumed printing the original file. Midway through the first layer, the extruder started clicking. I performed a cold pull, which fixed the issue for one print. On the next print it started clicking again mid-first layer. I decided to take this opportunity to change from the default nozzle and switched to a .4 ObXidian nozzle. After changing it, I had trouble loading filament without clicking. I checked the idler tension, re-seated the new nozzle, cleaned the gears, and finally got it loaded. I re-sliced the model since I was no longer using the HF nozzle and printed one part successfully. The following print clogged again. I cleared the nozzle and dried the filament just to be safe. Again it worked for exactly one print. The following print it started clicking mid-first layer.

I am going to try to print something completely different with a different filament to see if I still have the same issue.

I am not sure where to go next on this one. What am I missing?
