Too hot ? so today i installed a new mosfet and my heater block was warming up properly now , i opened up pronterface and loaded in some filament. i set the temp to 210 pla and let it heat up to around there , i kept pushing 1 mm of filament until it started extruding and i pushed another 10 after that. i then noticed that plastic was leaking out of the threads on the heat block. i unscrewed it all and pulled the rest of the filament out and this is what i have to deal with now. mod_embed_images_loadimage('bb316d2c902c7d6eaeee251a6a82401c', '/forum/thumbcache/c61/d59/6e5/aa0/7b0/4d1/e6d/cff/bf8/857/b5_800x400.png', 'http://forums.reprap.org/file.php?1,file=6677,filename=HotEndMelt.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?1,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.reprap.org%2Ffile.php%3F1%2Cfile%3D6677%2Cfilename%3DHotEndMelt.jpg', '', 118746, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); Im wondering why it leaked , i had it nice and tight and the temp was between 200 and 215 . but the extrusion was very clear and liquid like. So im thinking it was too hot , meaning my temp table is probably off. any suggestions on what i should do from here ? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,118746,118746#msg-118746 Wed, 20 May 2026 19:05:02 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,118746,118762#msg-118762 Re: Too hot ? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,118746,118762#msg-118762 Rooski General Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:54:34 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,118746,118759#msg-118759 Re: Too hot ? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,118746,118759#msg-118759
