AI Help

If the hotend does not seem to screw into the bracket of your Ender 3 v1 in one orientation, but does so when turned around, it's possible that the threading is not aligned properly. This could be a manufacturing defect or an issue caused during assembly.

Here are a few steps to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Ensure that you have removed any plastic debris or leftover filament from the threaded hole and the hotend's screw.
2. Check for any visible damage or misalignment in the hotend or the bracket itself.
3. Carefully try to align the hotend with the bracket and apply gentle and even pressure while screwing it in.
4. If the problem persists, consider contacting the manufacturer or the seller to inquire about a possible defect and explore the options for repair or replacement.

Remember, it's important to follow proper safety precautions and handle the hotend with care to avoid burns or injury.

have you checked if the screws are the same size, and that the hole spacing is the same?

are there still threads in the mounting plate? or just a hole?

[idle scaffold]

im using the same screws as for the previous hotend they are the same size. the screws fit in fine without the hotend.

i measured the spacing between the holes on the hotend and it seems roughly the same as the previous one

but when i try to screw in one of the holes the other ones is too much to the right or left

if that all makes sense

[rancid osprey]

do you screw one of them all the way in before trying the other one, or just barely thread it in before starting the threads on the other side?

[idle scaffold]

i barely screw one in before i do the other just to make sure that isnt the issue

[rancid osprey]

sounds like the hole spacing is different

i bought this i would think it would fit

also its still weird to me that it does fit if i turn it 180 degrees but idk

idk this is like the third hotend that doesnt work for me

[rancid osprey]

it works if you turn it upside down?

[idle scaffold]

nah with the cable to the right side and the little black screw to the front it doesnt screw in with the cable to the left side and the little screw to the back it does

but im pretty sure its supposed to go in this way

like this it doesnt fit basicly

but like this it does

[rancid osprey]

it works while rotated 180 degrees? is there a reason you can't leave it be like that?

if you remove these three screws, then you can rotate only the red part 180 degrees

[idle scaffold]

wont that either press out the nozzle or leave the whole thing loose

i cant screw it all the way in turned around cause the heatblocks hits the bracket

[rancid osprey]

obviously screw them back in after rotating the red part 180 degrees

[idle scaffold]

no no i got that part lol

but if its an issue with the product i rather just send it back

[rancid osprey]

if you've tried three different hotends and all have the same issue, then I doubt the hotend is the problem

[idle scaffold]

no no they dont have the same issue

its all diferent issues

sorry i wasnt clear on that

[rancid osprey]

no, why would it?

[idle scaffold]

cause youre either turning it further then its supposed too overtightening it or leaving ot looser then it normally is

[rancid osprey]

I doubt that would be an issue

[idle scaffold]

okay fair enough

[rancid osprey]

I'd just screw them in until they stop turning
