    Wow... I woke up to this. No clue how it happened... I assume the hot end came loose first and then the prints messed up. Anyone ever seen this before?

    Nope, but looks a lot like the hotend jsut fell down indeed. Put back in and tighten the screw well...

    It would appear some testing and loctite-ing of screws is still a good idea :)
    That sort of thing was infamous on the older R1 series. Stuff would just fall apart because screws worked loose.

    Looks like the hot end clogged and the pressure pushed the assembly apart. Haven't seen that one before. Easy fix, though :)
