thanks for the replies - i just went into registry and deleted all cura, slic3r, repetier, ultimaker, and arduino entries - going to see if i can start over - no fan or a/c near unit - i actually siliconed the thermistor wires to underside of plate as the tape was loose..no change - that thermistor is centered in a hole in the plate - i left it there and did not silicone the head of the thermistoby honerboy - General
