White smoke

Hello there

I have a problem with my printer. White smoke comes out from the hotend? Maybe. I change everything to sure. Hotend, nozzle, thermistor, cartridge heater, ptfe tube.

As result?! The same thing. White smoke and smell.

Any thoughts?!

RE: White smoke

White steam alone - humidity, need to dry filament.

But smell? Depends. There might be some issue with temperature sensing but moisture is a very common issue, because unintuitive in many ways e.g. when you open a sealed bag with a new spool, it is not necessarily dry.

RE: White smoke

would need more information. It could be what @mnentwig mentioned but I would also suggest reaching out to support so they can go over things with you to get to the bottom of it.
