Did I break my filament sensor
I tried replacing the filament sensor cover with this, and now my filament sensor doesn't work anymore.
Here's a closeup shot of it.
Did I break my filament sensor? I think I did, but before I spend the money, I want to be sure.
Thanks
Rick
I hope that picture works!

I'm sorry about that. It showed up in preview, so I thought it was OK. I've attached it to the reply, I think.
Re: Did I break my filament sensor
Yes your filament sensor is broken. However I doubt the new cover broke it as the damage is due to heat and not mechanical stress. Before paying for a replacement I suggest contacting support via live chat as a burnt out filament sensor is a common fault due to a design flaw. Apparently Prusa are updating the design of the sensor at the moment.

I know I broke it. It was working fine, and then I installed the new cover. In order to get the PTE tube into the new head far enough, I had to screw it in and allow that to force it. That stress is what broke it. This is, to me, a clear case of abuse.
Thanks for helping confirm it's broken. Like I said, I thought it was, but wanted to be sure.
