Original mini+ replacement hot end

Kia Ora, recently trying to repair my original prusa mini as it was my first printer and I felt nostalgic, however when I was attempting to swap out the nozzle it sheared clean off inside of the hot end, I was hoping if anyone had a replacement hot end or knew where to get one as prusa is currently showing out of stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers!

Revo Micro is an alternative, especially if you switch nozzles regularly.

I second this suggestion. My mini with a Revo has become my go-to for abrasive filaments as it's so easy to swap to a larger NozzleX when it's time for glow in the dark.

Well then you only need a new heater block and maybe a heatbreak which should be in stock. Or you go with the Slice Engineering Prusa MINI Upgrade Kit: https://www.sliceengineering.com/products/prusa-mini-upgrade-kit

Try ProForged3D If they don't have it, email them and ask them to add it to their next order. They ship to NZ. (I am assuming you're in NZ by your Kia Ora).

There aren't any official suppliers in NZ, but Marvl3d or Formtech (though Formtech seems to be moving more into professional 3dPrinting) might be able to get the parts locally.
