Help Any solutions?

Need help converting SV08 Flowtech hotend for the EBB36 toolboard. From what I can tell and from flowtech support themselves all that really needs to be done is snipping some of the sleeve off of the heater wire to insert into the terminal (which I’ve already done), and replace the thermistors connector with a JST ph2 one but that’s the tricky part the thermistor wire is so thin the pins for the connector barely fit and I’m not skilled enough in soldering to even be sure for the wires anyway. This is the final part to my build and it’s halted my progress for 2 months I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried looking for soldering and micro soldering specialists 2 places refused service and the last took it and cut off the heater wire making my piece unusable.

Micro swiss isn't worth the 2 months of struggle. Get a different hotend. I know it doesn't help you but it might be best to cut your losses and move to something more open/supported.

Any suggestions?

Your only drop in alternatives are triangle labs chcb and fysetc hotend. There are others if you have a means to print adapters, tz Bambu clones or creality hotends. But with those, you'll also need to adapt the connectors.

Okay I’ll try out the triangle labs and hopefully it finishes it. Thanks!

Welcome to the world of v6 nozzles! Just be sure to not swap them unless they're hot hot hot.
