there are pics please look at the imagur link. Also factory cut so definitely not the issue there. Nozzle does not push against the hotend tube as it sits on top of the heatbreak and does not go all the way through.

I cannot post the pictures directly as the site is broken and i get a 400 invalid json error.

Apologies for the blurriness the stupid camera wouldn’t stop auto focusing on the wrong parts of the frame

will get a picture out soon but it’s the wholesale stuff creality sells or at least used to sell on the cheap

it’s probably not fair to call it an ender3 how modded it is at this point :) also it didn’t fix the problem just made it noticeably better.

Retraction was at 7mm but was causing clogs due to heat creap so i reduced it to 3mm.

I’m not worries about stringing as much as the residue
