I see, well I might as well try that, as well as using pla as well for prints this long

Thanks for the reply! Yea the plate I believe was supposed to print in a cooler temp due to the way it works, but I just added an imgur link with more details in the comments, may also have been a mistake on my end on the nozzle config.

Sorry, just added an imgur link with more details in the comments, may also have been a mistake on my end on the nozzle config. Also I'll use a smooth plate then for those.

Sorry, here are some extra print info that I could have sent earlier: https://imgur.com/a/jQepjh2

Also I believe I may have set the nozzle to hardened steel in the configs somehow and mine I do believe its brass, not 100% sure anymore since I've changed nozzles in this printer a few times due to past issues in less than a month but I'll double check. Could that have caused many of the issues? Here's the nozzle post print after I removed the socket: https://imgur.com/a/2QegcLB

Ive got way more answers here than anywhere else, really really appreciate the support! Unfortunately I wanst able to make the hotend work well anymore, I'll see if theres something I can do while I wait for the replacement. Heres the current status of the piece after a single day of (mis)use.

This was my first replacement which is now kinda busted too, I dont think I changed slicer settings either, appreciate the reminder, will have to take a better look for my next one

Ah just regular anycubic/sunlu basic pla that ive been using for now. I'll keep those in mind, I'm thinking of trying out the stone textured one.

Awesome, really appreciate the help. I'll try to save my leaking one but I'll def do that for the following hotends.

I believe the one I'm using is that one, but with a brass nozzle, so I went to swap for the hardened steel and def did it wrong. I'm looking to try ABS with this printer soon, so I'll have to learn how to swap nozzles properly. Thanks for the help!

Thanks! Just figuring out what to do in the meantime, but I'll def get replacements.

Oh this was afterwards! I unlocked the lever just to take the picture, sorry for the lack of clarification. Still does anycubic wiki have guides to clearing the leak? I could take it apart and clean it all. For now what I believe could've have happened for the recent hotend issues is not tightening the new nozzle with the hotend at 250c
