DX.com Heacent Extruder/Hotend - what thermistor?

Hello,

I bought a Heacent extruder/hotend combination from DX.com here: http://dx.com/p/heacent-et02-k-extruder-j-head-for-reprap-3d-printer-0-3mm-nozzle-1-75mm-filament-245753 but the CD that came with it does not include information on the thermistor that is in it.



The same site also lists a "Heacent thermistor" (here: http://dx.com/p/heacent-open-reprap-prusa-mendel-diy-3d-printer-heat-bed-thermistor-yellow-white-250382 ) - but there is no detail on what type it is either.


Is there a chance anyone else bought one of these, and may know? (Obviously, I'm hoping someone has done great sleuthing and already has a good lookup table for this!)
Thank you.

Good suggestion, and I have a support ticket in to them, but if you've ever dealt with DX ... well, let's say it will be a minor miracle if something this technical is answered. Here is an extract from their "Technical problems" page -

"Trouble getting the item to work

Since 99.9% of the products are neither designed nor manufactured by DX, the following methods may help answering the questions you have:

2. There may be existing answers to your question in the product forums. Try searching it by entering keywords of your question here:

3. If no information is found on the forum, you may follow the steps through the picture to post a new topic in the forum to seek for help from customers who also own the product. the product. "

Measure the resistance of it - if its around 100k at room temp, then try it as a "type 1" in firmware (config.h). It won't do any harm.
