If the nozzle happens to leak filament. It is because there is a gap between feeding tube and nozzle due to frequent nozzle disassembly
 
1 Remove the nozzle with the wrench in the tool box.


2 Wining one layer PTFE thread seal tape on the tube.


3 Screw the nozzle into the hot end tightly but gently.

Or put the nozzle in first, then thread the feed tube in till it butts up against the back end of the nozzle. It should seal against the nozzle unless either has been damaged. There should be no need for seal tape.

Re: How to deal with nozzle leaking problem?

I question the relevance of this user's advice (this and the other thread). We don't even know what printer/hotend they are talking about, neither is the description of the solution or the problem for that matter sufficient to be at all useful. There's little point in engaging.

dy/Bob, if you're genuine, please be direct and let us know what you're deal is / what you're selling in the Buy/Sell/Trade section.
