Thermistor showing half of the temperature
April 11, 2014 06:08PM
Hi all,

Maybe someone could help. The temperature shown by my hotend is about half of what it should be. I extrude ABS at 120C !!!! Anyone has an idea of what the problem could be? I tried changing the firmware setting to different Thermistor but doesn't seem to be working...

Thanks.

I'd start by measuring the resistance of your thermistor and compare that to the temperature table for the thermistor you think you have and see if they match. If they do then the problem is the input on the board or software. If they don't then you have the wrong thermistor or the wrong settings for the one you actaully have.
