Hello everyone,
I just finished building my first 3d printer/reprap, a Prusa Mendel I2. I went to make my first test print today and it looks as tho during extrusion of the filament, the brass nozzle is coming right out of the PTFE body.
Im printing with 3mm white ABS filament from matterhackers.com, they recommend 230-240C to extrude, i had set my nozzle to 235 and waited until it reached temperature before i started feeding in filament.
heres a picture of what happened.

im pretty sure this isnt supposed to happen... I bought the nozzle from nwreprap.com it takes 3mm filament and has a 0.5mm extrusion orifice.
the nozzle and the ptfe body were pre assembled when it all showed up, i just put the resistor and thermistor into the nozzle.
any ideas why this would happen???
