hello everyone
recently i had to swapped out my print head because the gears broke.
when i took the hotend of i accidentally snagged the heat resistor and it broke.
i have been looking around for a new one but everywhere i look people have 3 or 5 W resistors between 5 and 10 ohm.
the board i use to control the printer is a Gen 6, when i measured the voltage over the resistor it was 20V.
so with a Small calculation you find that current is 2A.
this however is far to large for a 5W resistor
so im a bit puzzled, the resistor i broke came with the printer when i bought it.
can anyone tell me what kind of resistor i should use or if anyone else with a Gen 6 board can help.
