Took a couple failed prints to figure out something was wrong. Pulled the filament and saw it was melted WAY too high! Thankfully I’ve got a pack of spares, so pretty simple to swap out.

    You could’ve easily soldered that wire back to the pad, it’s exposed

      I could have, sure. Wanted to keep working on my current projects so went the quick way and just swapped it out. It will be salvaged for some future project.

    Spares have saved my ass many a time, easy to swap now and refurb later. Do you have any idea how the fan managed to fail right at the joint? I wouldn’t think that’d be under much, if any, stress. Did it just vibrate itself to death?
