Getting round to putting that new hotend on, & I've got a new heater to put in there, (the old one is well & truly stuck in the old hotend. Couple of questions.
Firstly, the replacement has unterminated cable ends. Will I be okay to snip the termination end off the old cable, solder to the new heater & insulate the joints with heatshrink? Can't see there being any notable heat or other issues at the connector end? This bit:
Secondly, does the heater need any thermal paste applying, or does it just go in the hotend block clean, as is?
