Sorry, missed those replies.
I’m still not going to be a fan of the thermal pads. Never really have been except for small chips and small sinks.
If you order Thermisters and Heating elements from BL you’ll get more clips. I think they used to be available on AliExpress at one time by themselves.
I can’t give you a good test for those pads, perhaps someone who has more experience than I. Thermal paste should also come with the parts if you get them from BL.
I just don’t like the pads, and don’t see them as being just as good as bare paste against the nozzle.
