Hotend lower teflon shield?

The hotend on my M200+ has a rectangular piece of teflon(?) that covers the bottom of it. That piece is sagging in one corner:

Is this a replaceable part? Can I flip it around, or just remove it? Don’t really want to replace the entire hotend for a single piece of plastic…

Any idea what might have caused this?

Thanks!

just remove it. idk if you can found a replace part

Hello,

it is not possible to buy the cover separately, it comes only with the new hotend (unlike nozzle caps - they can be purchased in our online store. However, you can remove the covers - they do not serve any function, material residues will just be more prone to stick to the nozzle and hotend instead.

Best regards
