Bent Nozzle

It is possible to bend the nozzle on X1 and P1 Bambu printers. You may not notice. It is possible to print with a bent nozzle, but some things may be a problem. Flat areas may not end up as nice as before. Ironing may not be as nice. One very obvious problem is that the purge lines may move. If you have a nozzle bent back the part of theL along the back edge of the build plate may be off the plate.

If you suspect it, or just for occasional jollies, take the cover off and look at the nozzle. It is bent then it is fairly easy to see that it is not straight.

I would just toss a bent nozzle out. It may be possible to straighten it. The parts are press fit together so bending may loosen them and filament may leak.
