I switched from ABS to PLA and didnt tighten the nozzle all the way apparently! I found my 2nd PLA print OOOZing liquid PLA out between the nozzle and the threaded post… Come to think of it, I now remember hearing at some point that i should have used some Teflon tape - is that right?
Anyhow - I tried to clean up as best as possible, but i just couldnt get all the PLA out of the threads. I’ve got the nozzle soaking in acetone because ive found that it DOES soften the PLA after a day or so to where it can be brushed or shaken off - its already starting to loosen up a bit. Short of leaving the threaded end submerged in a small dish of acetone for a day, are there any other methods of cleaning the threads out? I’d rather not take my schnozzle apart if i dont have to.
I plan on going back to ABS and printing a fan mount before trying PLA again…
