Hi,

Not sure i understood clearly your problem. But i seem to understand that some filament is leaking from the top of the nozzle where you screw it too the block?

If so, then you need to tighten the nozzle a bit more, heat the nozzle to at least 140 - 160°c and tighten it more. After that you need to relevel the bed most probably.

Always change the nozzle while hot.

I advise you to print the torque wrench that you can find on youmagine

      A: Materials which are hard in a solid piece (like metals, ceramics and carbon fibers) will generally also wear down the nozzle. In general one should assume...

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
