If your hot end is oozing filament when idle, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:

  1. Check the retraction settings: Ensure that your retraction settings are properly configured in your 3D printing software. Increasing the retraction distance and speed can help reduce filament oozing.

  2. Verify the nozzle temperature: Make sure that the hot end is at the proper operating temperature for the filament you are using. Different materials may require different temperatures to prevent oozing.

  3. Clean the nozzle: Sometimes, a partially clogged nozzle can cause filament to ooze out. If you notice any debris or residue in the nozzle, you can clean it using a small brush or a nozzle cleaning needle.

  4. Calibrate the extrusion amount: Incorrect extrusion calibration can lead to excess filament oozing. Ensure that your printer is extruding the correct amount of filament by calibrating the extrusion steps/mm.

  5. Check the cooling fan: If your printer has a cooling fan, mak...

add a skirt to the print, will prevent issues

Unfortunately Newton didn't leave 3D printers alone, either.

I see I wasn’t sure since it’s very drastic. Even with retraction settings properly dialed in it will ooze out and a rather fast speed as if it’s almost on
