My extruder is vibrating instead of feeding. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it because I am dumb.

Looks like a bad stepper motor.

I would suggest checking by removing the extruded motor and seeing if it still works. If the motor is the same as your x/y motors, you can also swap the e-motor input to one and ensure it’s not something upstream.

(It could also be motor voltage, but that’s far less likely unless you were tweaking things,)
