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. 🤦
