Where to Purchase New Heat Block
I'm so confused!
After a couple of mistakes that got away from me, there was a ton of plastic gooping up the heat block. I was able to remove it all a few times. But this last time, I accidentally broke the thermistor wires. I have to, at minimum, replace the thermistor. After detaching the heat block assembly, I'm not able to get the thermistor or the heater cartridge out. Now the nozzle and heater block are pretty messed up (I already have replacement nozzles).
I'm completely fine with just replacing the whole heater block assembly. Purchased two online of different makes (to see which worked best and keep the other as a backup). Of course, neither one was the correct size/configuration - I guess for some other printer. Shopping online - I can't seem to find any heater block, thermistor, assembly, or anything that specifically states it works for a Prusa i3 MK2S! (I really don't want to wait for a new part to be shipped across the Atlantic.)
Did I miss something somewhere that would've made this easier?
Is the "V6 Assembly" from E3D-Online the one I want? If it is, do the Fan Duct and Silicone Sock work with i3 MK2S?

Re: Where to Purchase New Heat Block
if you use a heat gun, you can likely heat the heat block enough to loosen the screws for the thermistor and heater. Needs to be hot.
If you need to replace:

but you will need the heater too.
