Mini Extruder motor melting filament

So i have two mini's. Both arrived two weeks apart the newest (problem printer) having arrived earlier in the week. I am having the issue where the extruder motor gets so hot that it flattens/melts the filament and jams. Both printers are next to each other and one is perfect while the other is fine. I have taken apart the extruder and it looks fine inside.

Ive read about issues like this on the printers big brother but not the mini.  My only guess is its a bad motor?

Hello and welcome to the Prusaforum!

If I were you, I would definitely turn to the Pruaschat. If the motor is defective, you will get a free replacement.

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.
