Heater block and thermistor replacement, i3 Mk2

Hello,

I got a major printing failure involving PETG running over night, that was a nightmare coming out and see the result.

Well, started to clean the nozzle and heater block with a heating gun but ripped out the thermistor cables, and the block looked like shit.

So I need a replacement for these parts, looked over at e3d and they seems to have a nice kit for this.

Will this kit be compatible with my i3 mk2?

Thanks!

I would get one anyway. You may need one and as cheap as they are it won't add much to your total purchase price.

You should upgrade to the copper heat block and nozzle. Slightly more expensive but have had greater results since changing. Better temp conduction and things don't stick as much to either, especially with a sock on it.
