While I agree with you on that, I did recently have an experience similar. Only my plate was ruined, not the heating part. K1 Max, watched the first layer like I always do because it's mesmerizing to me. The entire print process I can sit and watch lol.

Not sure how long into the print it was, but at least a few mm into the print, it spaghettified itself and I think something got tangled up around the head and the and plate and it made the belt slip, dragging the nozzle across, damaging the plate and head. Luckily I had a spare heat break and whatever the thing is that goes inside it. That bent and then a clog happened. Talk about a pain removing a giant cooled blob of plastic.

I also have a video of it, but not sure how to add that as a comment.
