    Thanks for the detail!

    Fortunately, in this case I was using a brand new, low-quality nozzle I don’t really care about.

    After this, I did indeed notice that I hadn’t tightened the nozzle fully tight and I had some mild “drizzle” escaping down the side.

    Since then, I’ve

    • removed the nozzle
    • cleaned the gunk out
    • put the nozzle back in
    • leveled the bed
    • rechecked my z-offset

    and… It’s printing fine again.

    Even the nozzle was alright… entirely due to dumb luck. 🤦

      Yeah, the nozzles can survive a little bit of scrape-off like that, but it can change the orifice geometry so just be aware. What model/make of machine/hot end do you have, if you don’t mind my asking? The cheap Ender-style PTFE-lined hot ends are pretty intolerant to just nozzle swaps, and if you have one of those, I have some videos I recommend watching so you know how to rebuild it properly should you ever need to again.
