By "top of the hot end" are you referring to the top of the aluminum cooling block, or the top of the entire extruder block?
If it's the former, then there's a problem with my printer's insulation from the hot end to the cooling block. The cooling block gets real hot while printing, so much so that I can hardly touch it for more than a second or two. I kept lowering my print temperature until I reached a point where the prints were still jamming and the amount that did print was horribly de-laminated. I can't print any colder.
I'm worried that the heat is traveling up into the aluminum cooling block and softening the PLA thus allowing it to warp in the extruder.
