Re: Finally got my hot end back

oh I see I'm not  the only one that got a new hot end from SD and is having issues.I also  have filament coming out at the bottom of where the peek and the barrell meets . When that happens to me , the filament backs up in a tangled mess. Another thing , was the PTFE flush with the top of the peek when you got it? Mine "was" then after a bit it rose up about a sixteenth of an inch. When I 1st got my SD3 all was well, it was well til the heater  died. I did get a replacement but have had trouble ever since.
