should I just buy a new hot plate?
Hot plate went and I tried replacing the thermistor. Then I moved on to replacing the power cables but I think I fucked up and ruined the bed. This solder is not coming up. I don't even want to remove it all I just want to get the copper cable that's underneath it. Am I screwed. Does anybody know where to get anog Sovol SV01 hot plate?
Do you not have a soldering iron? This would come up in a second with an iron and some solder wick.
0Honestly wicking it all up and laying fresh solder wouldn't be the worst thing. Just... don't attack it with the knife or whatever you're doing, op. This can be saved with the correct tools. A wick and some patience will carry the day.
0I eventually got it. A wick and some patience did indeed carry the day.

If you have the spare cash I would probably recommend it just for the peace of mind.
I believe this is the hot plate in question.
0That's just the glass bed. It's not the heating element.
0Ah my mistake, sorry.
