Solved Broken wires need some info

I've had my new Robo 3D R1 plus for about 5 days or so now and am having a great time with it.
Lots of small issues and a bit of a learning curve on solving them.

I got some outstanding help from Robo's tech support with my first jam and with a bed leveling issue and now need some info on repairing some broken wires.

I was trying to clear my second bad jam and managed to break two wires on what I think is called the "hot end".

I'm not sure where they go.
Below are 3 pictures to help explain my problem:

I've set the Robo on it's left side as I'm facing it so you understand the orientation of the photos:


As I was messing with what I believe is called the hot end I managed to break these two wires:


They broke off and came off in my hand as pieces. Both wires had a short piece of plastic sheath and what looks like heat insulation.


I'm sure of where one of the wires came off as a piece of it is still sticking out of the round recess next to the large red wires. I "think" the other came from the same place but seems to have broken off inside the recess.

My soldering skills are ancient and my eyesight is bad but I have a friend or two who could solder it up for me if I knew exactly how they are supposed to go back on.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks for the info.
I went to the link you provided and there is no picture of it. It also says it's not being made any longer.
I'll do a google on the part number you gave.
Thanks.

Edit to add: And yes this is the stock unit no mods yet.

 

Found a picture of one. Simple looking.
Now, how does one go about removing it and replacing it?

 

I haven't tried to remove the broken one yet. A light test tug on the little bit of wire still attached resulted in a profound "Hmm" from myself, but otherwise it didn't budge.

Thanks.

 

Ok, thanks, im sure someone else will chime in soon.

 

Ok, set screw on the bottom... I'll see what I can do with that info. Stand by.

 

Found the set screw. Didn't see it before (old eyes I'm afraid) and tugged real good on the remaining wire which promptly broke off.
Then remembered Mark Tomlinson referred to a "shell". So I took my needle nose and twisted and pulled and out popped this guy:


Nothing left to do but see if can get a new one sent to me under warranty but I'll offer to buy one because it really wasn't "faulty" it was just in the way and I busted it all by myself.

 

You refer to Hexagon. Is that a shape or a brand/model? There is nothing "Hexagonal" about the part the Thermister came out of. It was a definate square block. What are you referring to?

 

Ok, good info Mark, thanks.
I've sent in a parts replacement request and we'll see how it goes.
