Extruder leaking?

WhippingBoy · Post by **WhippingBoy** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:51 am

I unmounted the nozzle, to clean it.

Now it seems like it's leaking?

Any idea how to fix this?

Leaving the heat at 220 all the time even when mounting again?

Hi.

This is what it is all about to perform the assembly with hot components.

If you want to remove the nozzle off,you need to heating it to 220C at first.
