Finished assembly.. and printed flawlessly....BUT

I finished Assembling a did a couple of tes trints..ist worked perfectly.
However i noticed some assembly "Problems"...

1) see Attachement: if i look on the Extruder from the front... the 2 red lines are not parallel... i mean the plastic printed part has a really small angle... but i could not find a way to align it...

2) same applies for the print cooling shroud ( the orange one blowing on the print)... is also slightly skewed but i guess i can unscrew it and try to align it...

Thanks

#1 is not a big deal. You say it's printing flawlessly, so accept success and declare victory. But if this really bugs you, you can try loosening the four screws that hold the extruder stepper and wiggle it a little. Personally I wouldn't bother.

#2 is maybe a potential issue, since the orange shroud can sag a bit with time and heat and eventually start bumping against the model as it prints. You have the right idea: loosen the screw and move it a bit.
