Topic: extruder thermistor crushed. new one?

Hi guys. I crushed the extruder thermistor of my Solidoodle 2 - I tightened the hot end's thermistor-cavity's hex screw too much. What kind of thermistor was it? Where/how can I get another one? The Solidoodle store sub-site doesn't provide any details about it, other than the price to buy.

Alright, thanks a ton! Would you also happen to know what the plastic-y covering of the thermistor's wires was, exactly?

They use PTFE sleeves
You can also use Kapton tape like on the E3D

umm when did SD start inserting the thermistor in the heat block? My year old SD3, it's taped to the nozzle.
