Weird Buildup Around Nozzle Threads
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:14 pm
Every time I finish a long or overnight print, when I check it out in the morning, or when it's done, there is a blackened and "gummy" buildup around the exposed threads of the nozzle of what I presume is filament. Also, when I heat the nozzle up to clean that buildup with a wire brush, the nozzle becomes loose and usually falls out. While this issue doesn't impair me from printing, it's kind of a pain in the butt to clean and reinstall the nozzle (then re-calibrate) before each print. What causes that buildup, and how do I avoid it?
