Is it possible that when tightening you aren't leaving a small gap between the nozzle and the heat block?  (Heat break is screwed in too far)
Yes you should care if you want it to keep working properly.

Looks like that's what happened. Going to try to fix that tonight.

The heater block (and everything attached to it) loosens and turns freely on the heatsink. And yes, I did tighten it at 300C like I was supposed to (I just did it again yesterday, actually, and its off again.) It doesn't appear to have any effect on printing.

Should I be worried? Is there a way to fix this besides temporarily tightening it? Should I even care? Thanks.
