SOLVED: Thermistors in hotend and HPB
October 10, 2012 04:55AM
Hello!

I just got started in the world of RepRaps and recieved the last prats for my Prusa Mendel yesterday. I began assembling the electronics (Megatronics) but soon realized i didn't have a thermistor for the pcb heatbed.

I found a few thermistors that seems to be the same as the one i got with my Jhead hotend but they have to be ordered from the USA and the shippings costs will be very high.

I am running the Marlin firmware and from what i can understand there's only 1 setting for both thermistors and they have to have the same specs. Is that correct?

Can i calibrate and run the heated bed without thermistor somehow or will it the temperature continue to rise until it breaks?

I assume the best sollution would be to get two new identical thermistors to mount in bort the hotend and the heated bed. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Marlin has separate settings for each of the thermisters.
