Break Extruder-body

Hi, I need help.
After 8 hours of a failed ABS printing on an ikea table enclosure (I don't know if because of the heat) I have found the sensor part like this.
What I can do?

Hello and welcome to the Prusaforum!

The Prusa printer is not realy built for use in an enclosure. If you use an enclosure, you have to take care that the temperatures do not rise too much. I would say that at 45 to 50 degrees you are already at the maximum ( max. 35degrees with PLA).
You can of course replace the printed parts of the printer with better materials, but I still wouldn't go over 50 degrees.
The broken sensor holder can still be temporarily glued, but I would re-print the part or the whole extruder. I have reprinted my extruders (MK3, Mini) all from ASA.

You can also order a spare part from Prusa.
