obviously i am new and leveling the bed i involuntary unscrew a little too much one of the 3 screw and during a 5 hour print one of the screw unscrew himself after around 3 hour and half.

good lesson learn but i felt the need to write here to let other know that when u level the bed is always better to be toward the end of the run of the screw not in the middle or you may have a screw that is "looser" then the other and end up with a problem similar to the one i had

I always screw my bed screws all the way in first and then back them out a turn before starting the leveling process but either way it sounds like you need some Loctite.
