Is everything ok with my nozzle?
Hi guys,
While I was printing, the filament got tangled and it looked like the printer pulled the filament a bit too hard. I heard an unpleasant noise and immediately turned the printer off. On the bed I found a piece of screw I have no idea where it came from.
I checked the nozzle and the printer if there are any visible damages. Then I made a test calibration print, which turned out ok.
I just want to be sure everything is ok with the nozzle and with the printer.
1. Should the gap highlighted on this photo look like that? (

2. Here's the photo of the nozzle from below. Should be something where the arrow is pointing? (

Hi,
You said a piece of screw,
could it be a hex head grub screw?
look at the attached picture, there is a tiny grub screw which retains the thermistor in the later hot ends.
could this be what you have found?

Thanks, Joan.
Yes, that's the screw I found. Where should it be placed?
