Replace hot-end 6.6KΩ resistor with 10KΩ or 4.7KΩ

Hello,

It's me again, I destroyed my resistors with the Hight-temp silicone, and I want to replace them. But I can only find 10KΩ or 4.7KΩ.

It's possible ?

You don't want kilo-Ohm you want just Ohm. You can pickup new resistors from the SeeMeCNC guys from their shop, see http://shop.seemecnc.com/68-Ohm-3-Watt- ... -26138.htm

You want to make sure resistance is near the 6.8Ohm value.

I'm in France and the resistors will cost 26€ to ship on my country, so I search another equivalent resistor.

Witch one is okay ?

I did some quick figuring and I believe that SeeMeCNC will ship to you using a small USPS flat rate box so total cost to you should be around 15.29 euro. It might pay to get extra teflon tube and other supplies you may need because the shipping would be the same I do believe.



All the resistors you listed are to large to fit the hot end. The resistor that SeeMeCNC sells is 5.45mm diameter.
