Just wanted to say that I recently had a problem that turned out to be the hotend not being fully tightened and it was an absolute pain in the ass to finally figure it out. I swapped out a half dozen nozzles, changed my boden tubing, and eventually replaced my entire extrudor (not before playing with the tension a billion times).
Eventually discovered that the hot end wasn't tightened and I was both immensely relieved and pissed off at the same time. Shit took me MONTHS to figure out.
I feel ya. Had that problem and was watching an unpacking and setup video for another printer when the person reminded me to go back and try that.
