Hello! I am relatively new to 3D printing and I am wondering if there is a fix to my problem with my Ender 5 S1. PLA has seemed to spew out of the heat sink and heat block (pictures below). My printer is out of warranty so I would prefer not to buy a new hotend but if I need to do can. Thanks!
Should be able to disassemble it with the aid of a heatgun to remove the plastic. If you can remove the heater cartridge and thermistor so much the better. Once cleaned up, the nozzle and the heatbreak removed run an M6 tap through the aluminium to clean up the threads and reassemble. Might need a new nozzle but they usually clean up. Tighten the heatbreak and nozzle when it is hot.
