Topic: Sealing at Heatblock fell off

Hello guys,

my loved Solidoodle 4 clogged for the first time a few days earlier. So i took it apart and cleaned the nozzle. But while i was reassembling the nozzle  the "sealing" (i don't know how this is exactly called) between the heat block and the cables just fell apart...

But i don't know if i have to replace this or if i'm able to print without this sealing. You can see it in the picture below.
I tried to search for this but i got no results.


It would be great if you could say if it's safe to print smile

Should be fine, that's just fire cement.  So if you really wanted to fix it, a trip to Home Depot is all you'd need.

Re: Sealing at Heatblock fell off

watch the temperatures closely. if it is oscillating and not maintaining temperature, you need to run a PID autotune.
