This is a known problem of PTFE and is related to the fact that the material creeps under load. PTFE will /always/ do that at some point. If you want an insulator that doesn't do this, you need PEEK, or a stainless steel barrel with integrated thermal break like the new makergear one or the arcol v4 Let me guess, the barrel pushed out of the PTFE?
