Never seen this before. Mostly the plugin works great (though I do often have issues with the wrong image).

1. The 404 appeared because the article was last scraped yesterday and it seems as if the Open Graph tags have been updated since then. I manually re-scraped the page and there is no longer a 404.

2. Looking at the Open Graph tags on your page, these tags don't appear to be set by JFBConnect as we insert them into a different place. The share image is directly taken from the og:image tag. How are you adding these values to your page?

But I am using JFBConnect. Please see attached.
I'm sure the position is being altered by other components, certainly the template and the compression tool.

Ok, there seem to be some errors in how you set up those objects then. I am seeing the following error in the FB debugger:

Unknown Object Type
Object at URL 'www.chariotswheels.com/3d-rendering/daz-...lbox-essentials.html' is invalid because the configured 'og:type' of 'chariotswheels:article' is invalid.

When I look at the source on your page, the following tag is set incorrectly.

<meta property="og:type" content="chariotswheels:Article"/>

In your JFBConnect > Social Meta > Objects, go into each object.
1. The Object Type should be "article". This field is case-sensitive, so it should not be capitalized.
2. The checkbox for "Built In Facebook Object" needs to be checked.
3. Save.
4. After all of the objects are updated for this, go back into the Facebook Debugger , enter the URL, hit Debug, then hit Scrape Again button. Let me know if the error is resolved.

Could you perhaps explain the "scraped" part?

I've not come across that term previously. And the tags had not changed. The publishing status of the article had changed that day, but not the tags.

Facebook crawls pages to "scrape" or collect data about a page when displaying the shares. You can read more about the crawling/scraping here and view the scraped info here .

Since you say the publishing state is the only thing that changed - If the article was not previously published then Facebook, then Facebook would not have gathered data from the page to determine the og tags/preview correctly.
