Nextruder block keeps coming loose

I think this was a well-known problem but I can't see any recent posts..   I tighten the nextruder block with the wheels on the side but halfway  through a print it then comes loose again .. and  results in a "jammed filament" message.. but it actually isnt jammed , as it works fine once I re-tighten ..  this was a new machine and this problem has been intermittent since I got it... should I re-screw the whole nozzle in ?  As the wheels are now very tight .. bit after a  2-3mins , print I can waggle the whole block quite easily ..

Hoping that this issue was solved by many some time ago ...  thanks

Your fix is probably thread locking compound (liquid/paste) but first take this to Prusa Support via chat.

Cheerio,

Can you be more specific with some pictures?  I'm not familiar with any wheels on the Nextruder.
