Hello,
I am new to this forum and do not know if this issue has been addressed. If it has, someone please direct me to the proper post.
I have a problem with PLA oozing from my extruder nozzle and around my thermistor. As the PLA builds up it falls on and fuses to the part causing the nozzle to jump when it passes over it. I have recently replaced the thermistor and nozzle and have made them as tight as I can but I am still having the problem. Should I have coated the nozzle threads with some kind of heat resistant sealant before screwing it into the thermistor? I am also having this problem where the thermistor screws into the heat sink. I am using a TronXY X1 printer, (I think), I bought this printer several years ago and it has served me well. Last month the PLA extruder hot end carriage broke when I over tightened a retaining screw. I have been unable to find a correct replacement part so I kind of did a work around using a universal E3D V6 hot end carriage part. It works and actually seems better than the original. Any suggestions or help always appreciated.
