    All of my bolts were slightly stripped (evidently my Robo3D needed someone with a better screwdriver).
    I replaced the 2 M3x25mm that hold the hot end in place with socket-head-cap-screws from McMaster Carr -- much less likely to cam-out.

    Since they come in a box of 50 (and I needed 2!)... give me a PM and I'll send 2 for 4 or 4 for $6 (silly postage)...

    That used to be in the old FAQ and it is really good information.
    I think everyone who replaced their hotend had this issue at some point
