I had to disassemble the print head to remove some filament that had broken in there. To do that you have to remove a cable from the 2 circuit boards. For some reason the cable connectors are glued and in order to get them apart I managed to destroy the connectors so it became impossible to reconnect the cable.
I live in the Central West of NSW. Is there somewhere out there or in Sydney where I can get the printer repaired or can I buy the two circuit boards and try to do it myself?
First, when you get your board repaired, the K1 Max videos show how to remove the glue without damaging the connectors.
If you show us a photo of the connectors, we can possibly direct you to them.
The board connectors can typically be slipped off the pins, and with the pins removed from a new connector, you can slip back over the pins.
It is a little harder if it is the connectors on the end of the cables.
You can get a new circuit board from a local aus company.

Unfortunately, when the connectors slipped off the pins they were bent in many directions and they broke off when I tried to straighten them.
I will be buying a new circuit board and repairing it that way.
Thank you for your advice, it is truly appreciated.
Thank you Bill. I have ordered it from them.
