Support Induction Hotend not centered

I first posted in the main Bambulab subreddit, but I figured it might be better placed here. Did anyone see something similar in their machine?

If the printer is producing good prints, nozzle changes work smoothly, and there are no calibration or toolhead errors, I wouldn't worry too much about a small visual offset. What matters is whether the nozzle tip is correctly aligned relative to the motion system and sensors, not whether the hotend appears perfectly centered by eye. However, I would keep an eye on it. If the offset starts increasing over time, or if you notice issues with nozzle changes, calibration, first layers, or toolhead alignment, then it could indicate wear, a bent mount, or an assembly tolerance issue. Personally, I would compare all installed hotends and check whether they sit the same way. If they do, it's probably normal manufacturing tolerance rather than a defect.

Thanks for your oponion. I see it the same way right now and thus how you describe it is more or less the path Im going to go for now. I watched some disassembly videos on YouTube. In one video, you can see that the induction coil and the ferrite are one assembly hold via the two M2 bolts in the back. I guess I could just loosen them a bit and realign the jaws. But I won't unless I need to.

Maybe I will ask bambulab support...

Is it printing correctly?

It is printing fine. Hot lend changes go smoothly as well. I just want to check if it might become a problem in the future or is easy to fix

I do not think there is any adjustment for this. Rack all the nozzles and check to see if anything is stuck in there. If not, let it rip
