I just bought a new hotend assembly for my ender 3 v2 but when i heated it up for the first time (only 200c) it has this weird smell, Ive thought it might be the wires next to the hotend but i checked and nothing was burning… is this normal for new hotends or is something wrong? Also it isnt the filament because it smells even before loading some in.
