<DIV>A friend of mine just installed some new hot ends on his 3D Touch
printers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After installation, and when he turned it on, he noticed a foul stench
arising from the hot ends. He said they really stink.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He mentioned that there is some potting compound on the hot ends and thinks
that they may not have gone through a bake-out procedure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know if it is “not unusual” for a hot end to stink, and if so,
how long does it take for the smell to go away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any assistance.</DIV>
