Well, I twisted the neck on my hot end tonight. Had swapped nozzles a number of times on the machine without issue - but I guess I need to change my ways.
Luckily I bought a spare parts kit when I ordered the machine so downtime was minimal.

Now, for the big dilemma ...
Do I order a new spare V4 for $75, or do I consider this a $75 discount for the dual upgrade? Does the dual upgrade come with 2 hot ends or one? If two, then my current is the spare. If one, then I'll still need to order a spare ... so no discount. Wasn't planning to buy the dual for a few months yet, but ...
