I've been experiencing and testing hot ends since the last few months and the groove mount is making me curious. I don't want to point out any specific hot end, just the groove mount in general.
After testing retraction, I've realized that many hot ends would slightly move axially, giving wrong layer height. If the groove mount isn't perfectly at the same thickness as the groove in the hot end, there will be a gap allowing it to move, no matters how tight I set the hot end in place.
I have an idea that could solve this problem, but changing a standard isn't very easy.
Do you think it could be a good idea to suggest an alternative design for the next hot end design?
