Hot end broken wire and no support
Hey, So I've been running my newish printer non-stop supporting our local first responders in the covid-19 fight. My hot end has been having issues and finally a wire broke and now the temp sensors are screwed. Where can I get a replacement quickly??? I have lots of prints to finish. For some reason I can't log into my Prusa account and cant find the parts that I need..Pls any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
RE: Hot end broken wire and no support
Hi Brian, when I looked yesterday, there were no heaters on the Prusa web shop...
You don't say where you are...
If in the UK, e3d Online, have heaters and thermistors
https://e3d-online.com/prusa-mk3-hotend-spares
there is a list of resellers
https://e3d-online.com/resellers
you may be able to get items there,
Failing that the heater is a 24 volt 40watt cartridge heater,
Maybe Ebay

heaters are not polarity conscious.
the thermistor is a semitec 100K thermistor
