Bad Nozzle & Tramming Bed...lesson learned

So, a few days ago I noticed my first layer was looking bad.
I switched to a new nozzle & it was still bad.
OK, I’m going to have to tram the bed.
So, I start loosening the side bed screws & see that back one is loose (really loose).
Alright, that is my issue…have to re-tram.
So I re-tram the bed, not a big issue I’ve done it before.
Get everything set, put the old nozzle back in & start a print.
OK, now it’s worse then before.
Re-tram bed another 3 times…can’t get it right.
So I stop, think a minute & decide to start all over again…then I remember I used a new nozzle the first time.
I install new nozzle & re-tram the bed.
I print a first layer print & it comes out good, a little close but good.
So, for the hell of it I put the old nozzle back in & re-print the first layer print.
I stop it halfway through because it’s bad.
Alright nozzle is the issue.

So, this whole process was a bad nozzle…but because the back bed screw was loose it set me down another path.
