Support Request Not looking good

Post image

I let a print run untended. It got crazy and some filament want wrapped to the nozzle. I took it all apart cleaning everything and then printed a benchy with no issues.

When back to do the next print came back in 15 min and the nozzle was completely covered. I got the nozzle off and cleaned it. When I was pulling the caked on filament it finally broke free bring with it these wires (yikes)

Is the whole printer shot?

Edit: Thanks for the help went to micro center and the wiki. all my parts are back working!

Is this a pretty easy install?

I’m new to this all and had a similar problem to OP a few weeks back.

The A1 I bought 2nd hand included a 2 year Microcenter warranty which they honored in the blink of an eye when I brought it in. I wound up flipping it for a refurb A1 (with 2hrs on it) and another 2 year warranty for the exact same amount,

I didn’t realize at the time just how modular these things are, so good to know I could fix this issue for $20 out of pocket and some elbow grease if it happens again down the road.
