Filament keeps leaking from nozzle
Hello everyone,
I have just assembled a new MK3s, and once i load the filament, it keeps coming out from the nozzle even after the loading process finished.
What can i do about this?
Regards,
Alen
RE: Filament keeps leaking from nozzle
Depending on the material you use and what temperature is pre-set, some oozing is to be expected. Once the print starts it will go away depending upon your settings. Try to lower the temperature as a starter.
If that annoys you before a print, you could add a "retraction instruction" to you G-code. The oozing will immediately stop.

The only certain cure for ooze before printing is to reduce nozzle temperatures below the filament melt point.
Retraction is a temporary delay: ooze will still occur.
Oozing is made worse with cheap filament, moisture in the filament, oil on the filament (fingerprints make it very bad).

even better you can modify your starting g-code to preheat to a lower temp during startup and then raise the hot end temp just before the pruge line is printed
