Disconnected wires
  1. I left a print overnight and it didn’t stick properly stupid me I know.
  2. I got a death blob and peeling it off two wires disconnected. Does anyone know where I can reattach them? Any help is very appreciated. Also I’m pretty new to this to bear with me if my questions seem dumb.

Oh dear.  I usually advise carefully checking a photo of the hot end before attacking a blob of doom specifically to avoid this.

It's very nearly impossible to reattach those wires as the hot end gets to temperatures higher than the melting point of solder...

Best to order new I'm afraid.

Cheerio,

I'm going to be cautious here.

You have definitely damaged the thermistor.

I cannot see enough to determine the state of the heater...

You might have bent the heatbreak.

Your fan shroud is almost certainly damaged.

The glib answer is, get a new extruder and fan shroud but contact Prusa support and they will talk you through the detailed diagnosis.
