    Amazon :) 100k epcos thermistor.(i think) order a 40 watt heater cartridge to have on hand as well if youd like. May avoid a 2nd order if its needed. In my opinion spare parts are a good thing.

    You always want to do wiring with the power off. Not saying that caused the issue but its much safer.

    If your ok with waiting for standard mail i can send you a few just pm me your mailing info. I switched to an e3d and a promethius hotend and use the m3 stud thermistor.

    I have a feeling it didn't notice that the heat shrink tubing slid down and when I plugged it back in, the two heads shorted together.

    Thanks for the help. I think I'll order them both on Amazon.

    No problematic all. Just for conversation I stock steppers, ramps and arduino boards, power supply nozzels and stepper drivers as a minimum because these things do fail and I hate being down :). I also have the odd bits like crimp Ferrell (you'll want some as the new thermistor won't come with it) and heat shrink and just connectors and heaters.... Ok maybe I stock to many parts lol

    I assumed multiple printers would cure that itch, sadly what I found is that you need more spare parts.
    You have been warned.

    Installed a new 100K thermistor. It's reading 91 degrees at room temp. Is this a bad one? Or is there some sort of calibration required?

    Did you replace it with a stock one? If not, did you reset the type in the firmware?

    (stock is EPCOS 100k)

    Looks like I need to do something here...

    However, I don't see the thermistor that I purchased form Amazon in here. Anyone know what to do for a RioRand 100K NTC Thermistor?

    Thanks. Tried it. 6 still reads 90C, 60 reads 70C. I think these thermistors are crap. The resistance on all 10 in this pack is between 90-94K.

    I just ordered an EPCOS 100K off Amazon. It should be here next week. Fingers crossed until then.

    i just replaced a v2 ramps board myself and just started getting this error usually hits midway through 2nd layer do yo know which connector on the ramps board is the thermister connection they just sent me a board with no instructions so just want to make sure connection is correct prior to bed heater going out was working fine

    Sorry your thermistors turned out bad, I don't know why that would have happened, my firmware is set to 1 and the temps read correctly (as far as I am aware that is). Could you send me a link to the new thermistors and I will change the link on the video so this won't happen again in the future?

    I picked up a genuine EPCOS 100K thermistor and connected it. Right now, it's just connected but not inside the extruder. It should be reading room temperature. The bed thermistor is reading 23.7C, while the new EPCOS thermistor for the extruder is reading almost 87.8C?

    What could be wrong?

    My firmware is set to the default...

    // 1 is 100k thermistor - best choice for EPCOS 100k (4.7k pullup)
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 1 //robo
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_1 0
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 1 //robo

    You didn't have it linked in your video. I saw the markings on the packaging when you held it up in the video and I managed to find the same one on Amazon.

    I assume you have the leads for the thermistor covered in heat-shrink or something to make sure that there is nothing shorting them.

    It is possible that the RAMPS itself is defective. If you swap the thermistors on the RAMPS does the odd reading move with the thermistor or does it ready correctly on the incorrect thermistor connection? (swap the hotend thermistor onto the bed heater thermistor connection on the RAMPS -- is the bed reading bogus?)
