What do I do when the hot end leaks filament while printing?
I recently replaced the nozzle on my mini+, and noticed it was leaking melted filament out of the top of the hot end. I had a hard time admittedly getting the nozzle in and think I might have stripped the threads of the hot end. Should I just scrap the entire hot end now that filament has leaked out? Or is this salvageable?

Take particular note of the diagrams at the bottom of the page.
If you have stripped the thread then yes, replacement will be necessary - but there is a chance you have merely encountered old plastic clogging the threads so it's worth one more try.
Cheerio,
