Hot end seems loose

[tidal wharf]

Hey all. My ACMS hot end nozzle where the cube point when the nozzle meets the cylinder shown in the picture on my backup hot end the cube point is insanely loose and can be moved with a bare finger.

It sounds like you may need to tighten the cube point on your hot end nozzle. Make sure to turn off your 3D printer and allow the nozzle to cool down before attempting to tighten it. You can use a wrench or pliers to carefully tighten the cube point until it is securely in place. Be careful not to overtighten it, as this could damage the nozzle. If you continue to have issues, please consult the manufacturer's guidelines or seek further assistance from a professional.

Remove the sock, screw it together, heat it up, tighten it

It’s not the nozzle itself it’s the cube point that’s insanely loose but would that be a reason for the problem?

[steady hare]

look at the graphic....its loose until you fastened it. Is the heatbreak tight in the heatsink?

[tidal wharf]

Yea it is? But it was loose before I changed nozzles.

Loosened the nozzle off. Still loose as anything

May have to disconnect the wires and tighten it up

Screw the heatbreak in until its flush with the block, screw the nozzle in fingertight, heat up and hottighten

if the nozzle bottoms out against the block, the heatbreak isn't in far enough or you are using the wrong nozzle (MK8 nozzle in a V6 block)

I asked in here before and was told I have the right nozzle and bought specifically for my printer the nozzle I’ve got. The heatbreak will have to be tightened though

What do I do about this glue?
