Hot plate went and I tried replacing the thermistor. Then I moved on to replacing the power cables but I think I fucked up and ruined the bed. This solder is not coming up. I don’t even want to remove it all I just want to get the copper cable that’s underneath it. Am I screwed. Does anybody know where to get anog Sovol SV01 hot plate?
I don’t know if this will help, but I had to resolder the cables to the bed of an old printer and the iron I had just couldn’t put out enough heat; the bed sank it all. I put it in the oven for a while, so that it was pre-warmed and the iron could melt the solder.
Probably using the kitchen oven where I cook wasn’t a very good idea, but hey, I’m still alive.
Yeah that’s what I think was making it so slow to remove. I eventually got it, but it took a while.
