What happened?
The printer is showing the message: "Overcurrent detected on nozzle heater."
Error name: Nozzle Heater Overcurrent
Error code: #31308 (CORE One) #35308 (CORE One L) #36308 (CORE One INDX) #26308 (MK4S) #13308 (MK4) #27308 (MK3.9S) #21308 (MK3.9)
The error is shown when a damaged wire is on the hotend heater or any of its connections.
How to fix it?
The most likely cause of this issue is damage to the hotend heater cable.
Printer equipped with INDX upgrade
On printers equipped with INDX upgrade, try parking the current nozzle, and pick up another nozzle. See if the issue follows the print head to another nozzle, or if the error is only on one nozzle.
If the issue follows the print head, contact our Customer support.
If the issue is only in one nozzle, check the measuring pad to make sure it is clean and has no debris covering it.
Printer equipped with LoveBoard
On printers equipped with LoveBoard, check the path between the hotend heater and the LoveBoard, and see if any parts are broken or pinched.
If there is no damage, check the cable connection to the LoveBoard board. Try reconnecting the cable to its connector.
In rare cases, this error message can be shown in case of damage to the LoveBoard, the xBuddy board, or the main cable between the two boards. If the cables and connectors are intact, check the boards for any visible damage.
Always touch the sides of the electronic board while manipulating it. Avoid touching the chips, capacitors, and other parts of the electronics.

Printer was 3 h 17 m into a Gnome supportless with glasses at failure. First print of the Gnome worked well (well, after two failed attempts due to a filament issue)
So I measured the resistance of both:
Working one: 16 Ohm
Defect one: 1 Ohm
Seems to me, that I need a new one :-(
