Topic: Extruder wrap sagging

so, today i cranked on my SD2 and when it started printing, the wrap around the brass of the extruder (lowest part) was dragging on the class (fouling up the print)

is this normal? (been printing about 2 months now)

how do i avoid it happening again (i used plyers to push the insulation and wrap back into place)
or avoid it getting worse... ?

Re: Extruder wrap sagging

If you have more kapton tape, you could try taping the wrap up to the PEEK.
