Just wanted to share my despair of having joined the glob of almost death club.

I got cocky with my first printer after almost 900 hours and stopped checking first layer just to have it immediately have a glob of almost death happen when not once before did I have adhesion issues. I wash my plate every five to six prints and I wipe it with alcohol every print. Caught it fast enough that it doesn't seem to have destroyed anything other than the heating element on my H2S. The depressing part is that they don't even have that available right now on their site and when it does become available I am not guaranteed one before it sells out. After two months of straight printing I got a forced to take a break. Just here hoping when I finally do get the replacement things work as they should and there aren't any hidden issues I haven't noticed. But other than me messing the wires to the heating element up when removing the glob everything else seemed intact.

Just wanted to share my depression.

EDIT (UPDATE): I was able to buy a ho tend replacement from an authorized seller out of Florida. Even when the 14th come around Bambu Store postponed the availability of it and the eddy sensor. This place didn't have the eddy sensor but after replacing the hotend part everything seems to be working fine. Started to print again yesterday afternoon and I am a few prints in without any issues. Now I am super paranoid and have been religiously watching the first layer. Kind of sucks when you feel the plate though, takes forever.
