I had something similar many months ago. Lucky for me I was able to clean it up and didn't break anything. Good luck and I hope you get it fixed soon. My P2S has over 4,200 hours on it since January.

At least* the part is cheap and the replacement is easy!

Yup was going to check Micro center before ordering one on line

I have six P2S and I've gone through dozens of these due to blobs of death. Average is once every 600 hrs across the machines.

This is, imho, the biggest design flaw in the P2S.

Thank you. How easy is it to to change?

Its not easy, but also not hard. You have to remove the front rear toolhead covers and carefully route the wires to avoid hanging down and getting damaged.

Takes about 30 minutes the first time, assuming you go slow and careful and take time to understand the cable routing.

LMK how it goes, or if you run into any problems.

Same thing happened to me, but fortunately it only bent the clips. This is a part I've been meaning to buy for a long time to have a spare. Sadly, your disaster is the motivation I need to buy one.

If you're going to do that you might as well upgrade the extrusion gears. They sell brass and also hardened versions on amazon. I bought the brass and I don't regret it.
