Hi everyone! I need to change the resistor on my hotend. Looking around I saw that common value is 6.8 ohm 3w. For such a small thing I don't want to buy it online (shipping is more than the object cost), but my problem is that I can find only resistors of 2w at the local electronic shop. There is the risk of burning the resistor?
