If i were to leave something like that, is there a risk of a fire starting? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I’m not going to say no, however my nozzle has been pretty gross for a long time between cleanings and never been an issue. The bigger danger is that the thermocouple could fail and allow runaway heating (beyond 300c). But most good print firmware is supposed to prevent that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Koopa_Khan@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 2 years ago Thank you!

Nothing on the printer get hot enough for that. But there is a large risk of the extruded plastic adhering to it and of it contaminating your print. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Koopa_Khan@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 2 years ago Thank you!
