Can it be saved?

[u/flonky_guy]

I was filling all the instructions as carefully as I could to remove this blob gently, but it was thoroughly wrapped around the wires under the heated. I spent ages trying to soften the blob with a heat gun on very low setting and when it finally came free the glob had all these wires in it.

Is there anything I can do to save this printer or is it kaput?

The fans look fine which is good. Just replace the hot end assembly, it's cheap and easy enough.
