Sucks not to have fuses, these are really difficult to find locally.

A practical work around, UNTIL YOU CAN GET THE CORRECT NANO FUSES, is to solder the blades of an automotive fuse (like the 15A that protects the Heated Bed) to the ends of the blown Nano fuse placing the automotive fuse in parallel to the blown fuse. Not pretty but it works and still protects the Rambo circuits.

At least that is what I would do. Worst case is that you would screw up the blown fuse.
Getting ready to try this now, glad I found it. I was printing an Onyx bed leveling aid and 2 partially protected wires to my led ring bridged themselves on the bed clip. I'm hoping that it's just a blown fuse , we'll see...

Heh. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Last night the connection on my parts fan shorted and I blew a nano fuse. I just went the easy way. It's a temporary/permanent solution (I don't feel like tracking down nano fuses). I ended up throwing in a reset-able 5A breaker. If it doesn't do the trick or act quick enough in the event of a short and roasts my Rambo, then it'll be a good excuse to move to a smoothie or something else.
