Awesome, you found the problem!
Any before and after pictures of builds, and of problem area?
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Are you looking for prints that were of varrying degreea of quality, the printer itself (it's a Voron 2.4 so there's a decent build behind it), or what the hot end should look like when properly assembled?
Yes, before and after pictures of quality prints, if possible!
While also showing an updated picture of what you posted!
Here are two before and one after. Lower left = top layer over extrusion, but the bottom was fine. Lower right = that's only 2-3 layers in total, but since it was way too close to the bed it was rippling like crazy. The cube = hot off the press and looking pretty good.
I didn't take any fixed photos of the hot end, but this page has a number of pictures showing what it should look like (look at the three screws if you didn't see them sticking out in my earlier picture).
Wow, great picture!
Thanks for the link, I did a quick comparsion of your pic and the one in the link:
Thank you for taking the time to show us your print problems and explaining!
Happy to help! For a little more context on the pictures: the hot end is available with blue and black anodizing. I have the black version (mostly because that was what was in stock). In my photo, the back silicone sock has been removed. Here's a better photo, also from the linked page. I've circled the three screws I'm talking about.
Ah, I knew I was missing something in the picture!
Thank you for pointing that out!
