Nextruder heatsink white rubber inside gear chamber chipped - what to do?
Hi,
preparing to MMU3 upgrade to MK4 nextruder, while opening nextruder chamber, I've noticed not only some filament scraps (which were somehow expected) but also crumbles of rubber that protecting electronics on wall of nextruder heatsink - and blob of it on its side is chipped exposing electronics/connections.
I've expected some issues inside since last print before upgrade failed after few layers because of clogged nozzle - and somehow cold pull and acupuncture needle did not solve issue (well, it solved it for few layers, after which those crumbles of rubber got again into nozzle somehow... i guess..)
Can i somehow repair that?
- any silicone/glue i can cover/protect the contacts?
- or should i order replacement part?
Thanks for suggestions!

What did you do? I have a similar problem. My white silicone is also damaged. Did you replace it and if yes which part? Thanks!

did we find out what the white pad is made of as TPU has done that to mine

If it still works I'd just put some epoxy on it to cover the wires and move on.

what i did find is a upgraded part to cover the Cogs designed for TPU and testing now so problems last 12 hours print

I’d be careful that’s the load cell and you’d wanna make sure you don’t make it work. It looks like potting compound. Mine also got wrecked with tpu
