I think that it's just you. Everyone else's printers here went together without a hitch, and mine didn't even need calibration!
Seriously though, we all get frustrated at times, and most of us probably have a pile of printer parts that didn't work out for one reason or another. Take a step back, take a break, and look at every problem with a fresh perspective as they pop up.....

Hi . My post was a little unclear. Some firmware will have the most popular thermistor types programmed into the them like EPCOS100K or HONNEYWELL100K and luckily mine did. These will load in the Beta Value(K) of the thermocouple automatically. Because I purchased a unbranded Thermistor the company selling it included the beta Value (K) value in the description which for mine was 3974. This meant that for my firmware I added the line temperature_control.hotend.beta 3974 which lets firmware the know how to read the resistance of my thermistor to report the correct temperature. This is how Smoothieboard deals with them, and Marlin is a little different but this post might help.

I'm using a temp gun on the hot end and it's not even close to what I'm thinking it should be, are temp guns an accurate way of reading the hot end temps?

d3delta3d, dougal1957 - thanks for the clarification, I also have a smoothieboard waiting in the wings for another 3d printer project or I may put it into the current delta I am running with a Rambo board.
vreihen - Yeah, it's an IR gun, they really are useless for pinpoint temp readings, I wonder if there is a better way to verify actual hotend temperatures without relying solely on the thermistor.
