Re: Hotend Failure
Installed the heater and it heats well. The thermistor on the other hand wasn't reading the same as before, probably due to a bad re-installation by me. Just read the instructions and will try again.I think there was old RTV in the thermistor hole that was stopping the reading on the aluminum.I cleaned all that out and will try again tomorrow.

Re: Hotend Failure
Whoohoo!! The heater and Thermistor are working great now. Temperature is reading between 200 and 203, even in the fast sections of the print. No clicking, just steady printing.
