WTF is ozzing around my thermistor and heater
I was printing a benchy on my monoprice select miniwitha a e3d v6 nockoff and I saw plastic ozzing around my hotend

That's filament leaking out, if it's coming through your thermistor that's a sign that your thermistor might be loose or something? You might need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble your whole hot end.
I feel like it shouldn't be possible to have filament oozing out through the thermister port/cartridge slot.
either it's a funky design, or something is very wrong- OP.... were you printing with red filament? The other thought I had was some sort of adhesive or thermal paste (which... is a bad idea. Most thermal paste decomposes at printing temps... but I've never seen red thermal paste.)
Looking again, I feel like it's NOT coming through the thermistor, it's probably coming through the heat break and just dripping down onto the thermistor. That's pretty common when your bowden tube isn't seated properly. Either way, the thing to do is disassemble, clean, re-assemble. Probably put in a fresh bowden tube, too.
That’s it precisely
