HotEnd Blob!
This Happend this morning, I managed to remove it and clean the nozzle/hotend but i broke one of the thermostat wires.
I ordered a full new hotend but who knows when will that arrive.
is it too dangerous to twist the wire wrap then in electrical tape and keep it running for now ?

RE: HotEnd Blob!
Thermistor is one of the safer parts to mess with. Low current, low voltage. 100K ohms or there about.
I would slip a piece of shrink sleeve on, solder it, position the sleeve, then hit it with a source of heat.
Probably wind up as good as new. Just don't let the two bare leads touch each other. That won't work.
