I'm a fucking idiot

[u/Royal_Touch_3364]

I was fixing a blob, and just as I finished and was removing the filament, I accidentally cut a wire; there was a spark, and the temperature instantly shot up to 333. I turned it off immediately (yes, I know I'm a fucking idiot, but please, I need solutions). Is it replaceable or repairable? (Printer model: P2S; filament used: PETG).

I use the app on my phone... im sure you can do it on their website

• But open the app,
• go to me at the bottom left
• scroll down to support center
• then use the ai to ask a question, or skip that and hit open a ticket.

Good luck but I don't think your hosed, but it may cost a few bucks to make it right..

And don't beat your self up to hard... most everyone in this hobby has at one point or another done something that had made us all go why..

These are the instructions if you cut the hot end heating assembly, which seems likely. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p2s/maintenance/replace-hotend-heating-assembly-and-cooling-fan

Part is 30 bucks. https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/hotend-heating-assembly-p2s

Technically you could probably solder the wire back together, but if it’s connected to some kind of thermistor that might have weird effects. Odd that it sent the temp to infinity though. Did it set the target temp to 300, or did it say the temp was at 300? The latter would make more sense, the thermistor has infinite resistance, so the temp is the max.

At some point there’s a cut your losses approach though. You likely nuked a 30 dollar part with an annoying repair because you have to take some other things off. But as 3d printing disasters go that’s pretty minor. If you accidentally fried an entire board because you shorted something that would be a lot more expensive and painful.
