    91EB4346-B8DE-498F-BE71-D3411EC752D0.jpeg I was trying to print s larger toy ship and 11 hours in some warping from earlier had the nozzle dig into the print itself and it ripped the wire out you can see in the picture. Now my printer won’t heat up at all, and I can’t seemx o find a replacement part on the site anywhere.

    Does anyone have any advice?? I’d prefer to not have to splice any wires if possible as I have no real electrical skills.

    they will not come with the waterproof JST connector, but you can remove the bottom cover and run the new heater wires all the way to the board (screw terminals- no splicing) or you'll have to order connectors and pin tools to crimp a new connector on (not hard at all and totally up to you as to how you want to handle your repair)

    waterproof JST amazon has some that are prewired that can be used. I believe thats what I use to do. I dont have any of the pin/connectors to crimp handy to grab the item number. maybe @WheresWaldo or @mark tomlinson does?

    I use the prewired ones and just solder the ends on the shortened leads.
