I’m having .5 inch to 1 inch of filament oozing out of whichever nozzle or nozzles I used during a print job after the print job is finished. I’m having to move the tool head away from the poop chute area and pull the filament off the nozzle. I didn’t have this much ooze out of my X1C. Is this normal?
Its normal for the most part, if it bothers you it can be pulled. It will clear and wipe the nozzle before another print and will get rid of it anyways.
Just wanted to make sure it was normal. Thanks.
Moist filament will often cause oozing as the moisture expands and pushes the filament out.
How are you drying your filament?
I just started with 3D printing in January, 2025; however, I’ve kind of gone crazy with buying stuff to support my 3D printing. I have the following dryers: SunLu S4, Creality X4, SunLu S2 (it is a one spool dryer), and then two AMS 2 Pros with drying capability.
After each print job, I usually have up to .5 inch of filament sticking out of the nozzles of my H2D. I didn’t have that on my X1C.
If I don’t remove that small piece, it frequently ends up at a random spot on the build plate for the next print.
