Topic: Close up of hot end

Can someone post a close up pic of where the red heater leads connect to the tip?
Mine came off. I probably can't fix but would love to try.

Thanks.

Like this? If you need a more in focus photo (I blame my iphone) I can use an actual camera, but the two wires just go into the heater cartridge, nothing special going on

You can solder either wire to either spot on the heater cartridge, it doesn't make a difference. Or just buy a new heater off ebay

Thanks. I just realized I can order a new ceramic heater for $4 on eBay. It's on the way. Thanks again!
