60W heater cartridge on MK3S+?
I've got two heater cartridges from trianglelab - 24V 50W and 60W - both of them should be fine working with MK3S+? As after mega blob I can't free original cartridge from extruder

Just thinking aloud here... I think original heat cartridge is 40W, where current is 40W/24V=1.7A (50W=2,1A and 60W=2.5A). I assume printer electronics has enough reserve for additional current. Still, I would recommend you start with 50W.
And needless to say, don't forget to make PID calibration after changing.

update
I'll update on this matter once thermistor will arrive as during swap to dragon hotend I found out that blob melted around whole heat block and made it impossible to recover both cartrige and thermisor.
Started with trianglelabs 50W and it's working fine, need to wait to do PID and start printing.
