Nozzle Oozing at the threads
Hi all, doing my first prints with a freshly built VC4 500mm and noticed after awhile that the filament is oozing past the nozzle threads.
I thought I correctly tightened it so I’m not sure why this could be happening. Could it be a print setting that is pushing too much volume?
This is with the 0.6mm nozzle and the high flow attachment. Honestly this is the first printer I’ve ever built so I’m still pretty green when it comes to troubleshooting these issues.

Solution
Do a hot tighten by heating up the hotend to 300 degrees and then tighten the adaptor and nozzle. I would suggest cleaning the plastic in the threads first.
You also installed the short silicon sock, check the box of the Rapido, there should be a longer one which is used when the high flow adaptor is also installed
