Could you include more info?

To help you get the best help try to include as much information as you can such as:
• Printer make and model,
• Any Mods,
• Firmware,
• Filament material and temps,
• Slicer,
• Any recent changes,
• What have you tried so far.

Images can really help with debugging a printer! Consider adding some to your post of the print and the printer.

Hot end oozing or dripping filament when it's at the proper operating temperature can be a common issue in 3D printing. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix this issue:

  1. Check the retraction settings: Increase the retraction distance in your slicing software. Retraction helps to pull the filament back into the nozzle when it's not extruding, reducing oozing. Start by increasing the retraction distance by small increments (e.g., from 1mm to 2mm) and test the print each time.

  2. Adjust the retraction speed: Slow down the retraction speed in your printer settings. High retraction speed can cause excess pressure in the nozzle, leading to oozing. Begin by reducing the retraction speed by 50% and gradually test different speeds to find the optimal setting.

  3. Check the hot end temperature: Ensure that the hot end temperature is stable and accurate. A fluctuating or incorrect temperature can cause filament oozing. Use a reliable thermometer to measure the actual t...
