3D print failed on prusa 3 and tip came off inside glob of PLA filament
The nozzle came off while printing? That’s odd. Can you add a picture?
Who’s gonna tell him?
The blue thing in the picture is the silicone sock. It goes over the heater block and helps keep it clean and stabilize the temperature a bit. They have a tendency to fall off as the age, but they aren’t really a necessary piece and can usually be put back on. So unless I’m missing something, I don’t see an issue in this image.
Thanks Christian, I didn’t want to risk breaking something else on it. Just to be on the safe side.
Sure thing, always good to ask if you’re not sure. It is possible for the nozzle and heater block to come loose during a print and start leaking out of the threads, but I’ve never seen one actually fall off. Usually when you end up with a glob of failed print it is because the print came off the bed or was not properly set up and tried to print in mid-air.
Agreed, as many problems Creality has, mine has never had that part fall off. But I’m constantly buying new parts for this Ender 3 PRO - POS.

Prusa 4 is giving an error:
Undervoltage detected
Your Raspberry Pi is reporting insufficient power. Switch to an adequate power supply or risk bad performance and failed prints.
You can read more in the FAQ.
Yeah, that’s “normal”. I had to repair the Pi on that one by swapping components from another damaged unit. As far as I know it hasn’t caused any actual issues. I should probably just disable that warning.
Thanks for your help Christian.
