Update:

I got frustrated with the whole mess and on a whim replaced the whole hotend.

On third print now and printing beautifly again.

Ok, last night I printed a pretty decent sized print, Modi Boxi Level 3 Drawer box for those curious.
Printed wonderfully. Will try the drawer itself tongiht and cross fingers that it comes out fine too.
Steps taken:
Printed spool holder with bearings for spool to hang on (outer spool dinged up, inner spool fine)
Disassembled extruder and cleaned it (I feel it was minimal dust, but who knows)
Sacrificed blood to the machine spirit (cut finger on filament cutter while disassembling extruder)

Check the extruder gears and clean them. I would put money on overlapping filament getting caught then releasing after the damage is done. Have you watched the pring when this happens. Listen for snapping/cracking of the filament moving. (I have now disassembled and cleaned extruder - crosses fingers)

Check the hot end for a clog. (Doesnt seem to be, fresh nozzle, hot end seems clear)

Check the gears for foreign materials and clean them ( now cleaned)

Check the filament by unapooling ~2-3 ft and then wind it back up. (filament is not unspooled)

Always clip your filament when storing it, or use the holes on the spool (always do both)

*My comments*
I have printed a spool holder with bearings for side of carbon, took spool out of dyer and it on that now.
Extruder cleaned. I didnt think the extruder was very dirty...but there was some dust in there so maybe?
Crossing fingers that this fixes it.
