filament flows between the nozzle and the fan

Hello

I have a the prusa mini+. I have a problem on it I have the impression that filament flows between the bus and the fan.

If possible I would like to have an opinion if this is serious or not.

RE: filament flows between the nozzle and the fan

Did you change the nozzle or do any work on the hotend? Filament flow over the heater block usually indicates a nozzle not properly secured against the heat break. There are several pages in the Prusa knowledgebase that explain the correct hotend assembly eg https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/how-to-replace-a-heaterblock-heatbreak-mini-mini_122769

Oh man, that has happened to me, it's the reason I'm deathly afraid to change the nozzle on the mk3s+!    In one case I was successful and in one case I ended up ordering a fully assembled replacement hot-end!    I really look forward to the nextruder to where that won't be such a pain.
