I can't even imagine a scenario that would make the extruded plastic end up inside that sleeve.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/70/2013-01-10T05:41:34Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/9129/#p9129<![CDATA[Re: Fabric around extruder]]>Yeah, you want that as insulation over the thermistor. Someone else might be able to tell you if it's really "absolutely necessary" though.
That is a really puzzling picture though. How did that get melted like that..?

I carefully pulled it off and cut around to free the extruder, the only problem being that when I got it off the fabric material with the rubber-like tape around it was attached to the melted plastic and came off as well. I was wondering if this was something important that protected the extruder or am I safe to use it without. I attached a photo of what happened too if that helps. Thanks.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/585/2013-01-10T04:33:48Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/9126/#p9126
