E3D hotted power cable snapped

I was just holding the extruder assembly about to release the cables to mount the extruder to its mount when one of the power leads seemingly snapped free. Kind of heart breaking after the wait from Jan .29 to getting the printer last night. And it was all going so well.

That sucks. Is that something you can solder back?

I read on this forum other people breaking the same cable for whatever reason and they got new ones from Prusa. Worth giving the online chat a try.

Good luck!

Thanks Joan for that lead, Good price but the shipping is a bit much. Found some in the states in a bundle for $9 as opposed to $23 for 1.

I reached out to their service via email. I can't say I didn't break it but I was pretty carful and when I touched it it simply snapped. Anyhow
