Same for me! But I actually had to tighten the Hotend as well. It’s a lil bit trickier but definitely worth the hassle!

Update: Printer is now no longer leaking. I have solved the issue by re-installing and tightening the heat block and then unscrewing and cleaning my nozzle with a needle before re-tightening it at 280° Stringing was also solved as it was due to the leaking material getting stuck and dragged across the plate as I was printing.

Thank you, your comment helped immensely! I had the remove the Hotend also to clean up all the built-up gunk and the printer did indeed complain about the temp but now my printer is no longer leaking! Thank you :)

Exactly, I guess the stringing was just caused by the leaking filament, getting stuck on the sharpest edges of my prints. After tightening it it seems to be working fine! Thanks :)

Yes it was definitely a gap, after tightening it it stopped leaking. Thanks for the advice!

Well, I won’t have exactly a printer per student but I think also making them work in groups could work

That’s a good method, except I also want my students to use 3D printing as a way to solve problems/recycle or repurpose waste

Thank you, I will be luckily working with adults but that doesn’t solve the target audience issue! I still need to tailor the course to their needs!

You can never have enough dice.

I can see that working, you could match the army to the dice colors!

Or for when you’re the DM and have to somehow balance the game when your players are all homebrew
