I messed up my screws...
Hello,
soooo I messed up.
I built my Core One about a week ago - did several benchys and already some prints I am using and everything works fine. I wanted to sort away all my spare parts and manuals and found a completly unopend package of screws (M3x4r).
So it seems I used the M3x4rT instead of the M3x4r in the Chapter 4 steps 7 to 9.
My question now... how bad is this? It seems to work perfectly fine so far, but I don't know if this could lead to long term damage or it already did damage and I just didn't notice it?

The only difference is they're torx vs hex, no? Should be no damage, same thread pitch and length. head size the same so no risk of a collision or anything like that. I'm honestly not sure why there are both variants, but as long as you had enough of the T versions where they are specced I suspect you're fine.

No, you won't damage it since the M3x4r screws are just for securing the heat bed brackets. Pretty sure you can just leave it as-is and not worry. The other set (M3x4rT) are for securing the power supply and buddy board box. Why Prusa chose to use different screw types for this is beyond me.
I had reused screws from taking apart my MK4S to do the upgrade so I ended up with extra bags (which confused me at first).

@cjd @hyiger - thanks for the quick answers - you two confirmed what I hopped.
Just wanted to get some outside opinion to make sure I didn't miss any difference.
