I've already change my heater for a E3D one ( and in a few day i'll change for a full e3d lol ) and anyway itdoeas not ship to my country big_smile. But it is really good to see some replacement part for the press as i didn't find any of them last time.

For exemple, right now, my heated bed is broke and i wait since two month for solidoodle to ship me a new one, but they are themself waiting the Press part to arrive, so i can't use abs right now....

It works well.

I'll send you the picture when i'll finish this!

I am glad we could help you out. It is important to make sure you have the wires protected after a splice to ensure they don't short out. A good wrapping in electrical tape will work if your splice is solid, but I prefer heat shrink.

Don't feel bad about asking for help. We all had to start somewhere!

I'll try this out this afternoon, but it seem indeed a good  solution, as i didn't find on internet how to connect wires to wire to wire connector.

Iron man: Indeed, the cable is long enough, but if i'm right, last time i checked the wires were connected by similar connector so it only push the probleme farther, but i will consider this option this afternoon ( maybe will be a more définitive alternative when/if i decide to upgrade later to e3D)

ekul3e3: I keep you up to date, should be done in a coupe of hours

Anyway thanks you all, great to have so much quick answers when!

You just have to connect the wires together. An easy way to do this would be to take the wires from your old cartridge (which have a connector on them) and splice them on to your new wires. You can do this a number of ways, the easiest being using wire nuts (which you can get at any hardware store) or to use a lineman splice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Union_splice) and some tape or heat shrink to cover it up. As long as you aren't so close to the heater that the wires will get hot, you can attach it however you'd like.

So, i received my heater, but ( i admit i'm a noob) i just don't know how to connect it to the printer, as the original heater is linked by a plastic part to another.

Thank you

The one IronMan linked is no good, that's a 12v version and the press uses 24v. Using a 12v heater in a 24v machine is very dangerous.

Here's a 24v cartridge:
