Don’t know if people have seen this? @E3D-Online are doing Semitec 104GT thermistors in a cartridge to fit into the PT100 block. Bye bye crushed/broken glass heads… shame they’ve not got the pre-crimped wires to connect to it though…

@Michael_Johnson - same. 5 printers I’d have to fork out for too.
Those actually come wth ~1meter cables, Dupont connector on one end and the Molex connector on the other. (I run Filastruder)
@Tim_Elmore , good to know
Ive got me one. But need to change the heatblock now ;D
@VolksTrieb - hopefully it’s a boatload easier than fiddling about with clamping the thermistor in
@Ax_Smith-Laffin and more durable yes thats my hope. Got a hex screw thermistor but its respond is far too slow so i need this 
This is the future of thermistoring.
@Thomas_Sanladerer - I think you’re right there.
carbon ink is the future
What diameter / dimensions has it?
Paging @E3D_Support ! Afaik it’s the same size as the PT100 and thermocouple cartridge, which are 3mm diameter by 12 or 15mm long.
All the cartridge sensors (PT100, Type K and standard thermistor types) have the same dimensions, so they’re all intercompatible with the new V6 cartridge block. You may already have the cartridge block if you bought a PT100 from us previously. All the V6 kits now come with the new cartridge setup as standard 
@E3D_Support - Your awesomeness factor just went up exponentially <3
What are the advantages of a 104gt compared to a pt100?
PT100 will do higher temps, 400°c +, off the top if my head, and is more accurate, but needs an expansion board for the output to be read correctly. Whereas the thermistor will do about 280°c and can be plugged directly into the board.
@Olivier_Bilodeau Well not much. Its as easy to install as your normal thermistor (which it is btw). And PT100 can handle a bit more temperature, maybe more precise but also needs an amplifier (e3d sells a board for this purpos) Iam thinking about that too but have no clue how good it works. PT100 or PT1000 is an industrial standard-thingi. Often used for normal temperature ranges like measuring temparature of liquids and so on.
@VolksTrieb well, I was wondering because I’m waiting for a complete pt100 kit to be delivered… let’s see how good it is! Though I won’t be able to print 400° filaments since I’m upgrading a lite6
@Olivier_Bilodeau please share the experience
