Not even asking what those other tabs are 
did you restart the whole printer and tried again?
checked the connection of the hotend cables is good?
if yes - disconnect the connector and measure the resistance!

@seriosha so if I measured correctly i got 0.3ohm on both cables

You need to measure from one lead to the other, or even better, from one of the contact patches on the heater to the other patch
the cables have to be disconnected in any case
@seriosha ok will do that
did that and same thing I got 0 to 0.3ohm

That's bad unfortunately. If you do the Math - the Heating Element is rated at ?105Watts? at 24V that means you should measure UĀ²/P = R Ohms, so about 5,5 Ohms.
0 to 0.3 Ohms basically means that your heater shorted out
yeah i just did the mathe XD well no sure why or how. but i already ordered a new heating element
thanks for your help

you're welcome!
And measure the new one before you put it in - and post what you measure š
will do that thanks

welcome š and good luck!
i got the new heater block and only from heaterblock connection to heaterblock i got 6ohm on both but it still doesnt work. i guess the cable is fucked too somehow

What do you get only from pad to pad on the heater itself?
And checking everything down the line to the board after having a short is a good thing anyway š
from pad to pad pn the ceramic block 6.1

That sounds about right at least š
with a different cable it still doesnt work changed the slots for the thermistor and heater slot. do i have to change the thermistor ? it says 104NT-4 but i dont know from what company
i fixed it
harsh-harlequinā¢10mo ago
what was the problem?
@seriosha i have no clue. i restarted it for the 10th time(probably changed something that i cant remember)and then it worked, but now my prints have theese weird layer lines.
harsh-harlequinā¢10mo ago
that's a new help thread i guess š
But if you printed well before. you should of course look into what changed. easier said than done ofc, but this looks mechanical
yeah I'm going to try to fix it on my own first

good luck man š
thanks i need it XD
