Something tells me I overtightened the nozzle
Something tells me I overtightened the nozzle
Twisting it on hot and the nozzle fell to the bed. I thought "huh, guess I was turning it the wrong way..." Nope.
From the pic it looks like cross threading rather than over tightening. Always makes sure it threads smooth before you start tightening
It felt like it was in there fine to me, but maybe not.
maybe it's hotend upgrade time then
I have a socket and extension I keep by the printer which fits the nozzle. That way I can screw it in by hand while hot, still easily feel if something is binding, and I don't even have to burn off my fingertips.
Good idea, I'll give that a go.
Been there before. Thankfully, replacement blocks are pretty cheap.
Yeah, I've already spent like $60 trying to help a guy save $10. What's another $20 on the pile? Lol.
Did the same with Trianglelab Dragon. Damaged the heatbreak as well when disassembling the hotend. Now I own a 1.8Nm torque wrench..
