I guess this is karma hitting me back. After apologizing to the group for spamming them and deleting my post, I was all geeked up to head home and start printing again, when BOOM! My thermistor lead broke. I suppose this serves me right. Which leads me to a question… Rather than go through the trouble of re-sleeving and re-installing the 100k thermistor, has anyone actually used one of the pre-sleeved, Teflon insulated thermistors you can find on Amazon? I only go as high as 245C, so it looks like a good option from here.
@Nathan_Walkner hmm. Can you post a pic? hard time visualizing that
@Nathan_Walkner that would also interest me.
I say “Try it”, Most of us who build our own, try many experiments to find what works best for US. and if it saves TIME or Money, it gets MY vote!
If it saves BOTH Time & Money, I’ll give ya a big ole Bugs Bunny Kiss! (smirk)
Well, interesting as that sounds, I just ordered a replacement thermistor from Amazon. This one has a threaded brass fitting meant to work in the M3 set screw hole in the e3d heater blocks. Looks pretty new, but good reviews so far. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.
@Mike_Learned Toss up the URL for the part!

So I know it’s a little late coming, but I just posted my findings in a video last night. Definitely worth a look, imo.
