Re: Extruder motor TOO hot, normal?
It should not be too hot, but "super hot" varies by individual. Can you take a measurement?
Things that can contribute are excessive retractions and friction in the filament feed path.
Check the reactions in your slicer settings, use preview mode.
Check the idler in the extruder door. Open it and make sure it rotates freely. Make sure the filament has a clear path to the extruder. Make sure any filters or guides don't snag.
