Okay I used my multimeter on the thermistor itself. I set it to 200k because the next lowest was 20k and that had 0 result anyways. Set to 200k, the multimeter read 180. That doesn't seem right. So I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong and check again.

Lowering the min defect temp in the firmware is a slightly unsafe way of fixing this. Put mine to 10 since 11 is about the lowest it gets in the room.

Thanks for the reply. The wiring starts from the board with the original white thermistor wires, at the top of the printer there is a JST where it changes to red/black wires that came with the NEW thermistor, then there is a JST-like connection at the hot end for a quick change. Previously it was ju...

One possible issue, would love to hear thoughts: Instead of rerunning the wire for the thermistor, I just moved the JST for the original wire all the way to the top of the machine, so now I'm running 2 different wires for the thermistor, with a total of 2 JST connections. Would that cause issues wit...

Hello folks, I recently purchased the new upgrade heater block and thermistor (cartridge) to replace my seemingly useless M3 Stud Thermistor. I set the Sensor_Type to 8 (Repetier) and the thermistor constantly reports around 6.5-7.5 degrees C lower than the heat bed. I measured the temperature and t...

I ran PID again with the sensor type 1, and it seemed to work. I set it to 200 and it got up to 202 then hung around 199-201. Pretty good! Then I checked the temperature of the nozzle by placing a "pocket thermometer" (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WE73N2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpa...

Hello! I am still really new to all this, so forgive me for not being able to find a thread that is close to my issue, but here goes: I installed one of these right during the initial build of my Rostock Max V2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Modular-Screw-on-M3-Stud-Thermistor-for-Reprap-Prusa-3D-Printer-...

I looked it up and I do believe the Sensor_Type is 1. "confirmed" by reading a Delta Printer book I got off Amazon. I'm going to try it tonight and see if my results are more accurate than the previous setting of 5. From the book: " 1 is 100k thermistor - best choice for EPCOS 100k (4...

I have been using one of the M3s I got off ebay that provided this table: http://reprap.org/wiki/Thermistor#EPCOS_100K_Thermistor_.28B57560G1104F.29 I should definitely be using sensor_type 1? I left it at 8 like E3d tutorial said...is that why my heat seems to be a little off pretty much always? My...

I finally got my printer to print something! Exciting! But results are hot garbage. I used MatterControl 1.6 with pretty standard settings, aside from all the calibrating. I made the "custom" ABS filament profile, setting the heat to 230/100. I didn't mess with retractions, and my filament...

Well after some tinkering I got it to print one of the new fan shrouds. Pictures to follow. Looks pretty fugly but I'm sure I can clean it up. Gotta dial in those settings.

Hello printer people, A quick note about my setup: MatterControl 1.6 Rostock Max V2 E3D V6 M3 Stud Thermistor I just got to the point where I calibrated my printer for the first time (Z-height) and am ready to try my first print. I selected the cube that was pre-installed as my first print since the...

Yeah sadly I bought this $30 multimeter that doesn't have a temp probe. I'll take a look at a hardware store nearby. Thanks for the advice!

I really appreciate the reply. Just one problem, despite having a multimeter...I have no idea how to use it. I tried measuring resistance and ended up with a number around 3.5 or something. I thought I was measuring for 100k...so that shows you how much I know. I can probably figure out how to get a...

I'm using this thermistor with my E3D: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322048913417?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Why? Err...I read somewhere how these were easier to install and decent upgrades to start with. Starting to think I should have built my machine fully stock then...

Sorry for pulling a necro on this thread, but I have some questions about thermistors and these connectors. I ended up using these exact connectors for power and for my thermistor which can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322048913417?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%...

Thanks for the reply! I updated the original post after some changes.

Hi folks, I just built my brand new Rostock Max v2. This is my first 3d printer build and I have already run into tons of issues. Question 1) I brought my printer inside the house for the initial calibration. I started out with the E3D V6 so maybe I did something wrong but when it heats up, shouldn'...
