I don't know what caused this, but I do know what problems this caused. The piece of the wheel that got knocked off also dislocated the tube that routes air from a fan to the nozzle. Without this air flow, the nozzle overheated. This afternoon, I found the ceramic insulation surrounding the nozzle burnt off, and the kapton tape that held on the insulation melted to the nozzle. I'll be having some fun over break...
