After trying to print with Laywoo-d3 (and jamming my hot end a few time) I have broken my hot end (the heating element wires broke off) while trying to clear the blockage.
Besides dumping my printer in the trash as there is no official replacement parts, is there a 3rd party hotend/extruder I can use?
Or is there a replacement heating unit for the hot end I can use?
I don't want to replace me Da Vinci as it has a good bed size (200x200x200)
The heater is just a standard 12 volt ceramic heating cartridge held inside the heating block by a small grub screw. Loosen that screw and the cartridge should slide out. You can get a new one without the connector on the wire ends for 5 bucks on eBay. The connector is custom and you would need to substitute it. I used ordinary bullet connectors on my other printer and see no reason why they would not work here. In fact they would be more reliable as based on other threads that connector can come loose.
