My wades extruder has a lot of cracks in it and some are going all the way through in places, could this cause the filament to keep slipping? Where can I buy a new one?
I've tried adjusting the tension but it's made no difference. I've also tried printing with PLA and ABS and it slips on both.

Mine did that and I patched it together with epoxy then printed a new one.
My new one is printed using PETG and hasn't cracked.

Hi,
nophead's original parts glue well with Loctite SuperGlue. I repaired my cracked Wade's block in this manner and printed a replacement in ABS which is holding-up well so far.
