... if the thermistors have different specs, then you'll need a different temperature table too ... AFAIK the specs even of the same types can differ by something like 5% or 10%.by VDX - General
... hmmm ... some of my (12V) LED-stripes have already internal current regulation, so simply connecting to a 12V PS would be enough. Others (mostly RGB-types) have either 4 pins for the "colors" and GND or 2 pins for the current and one for the selection or serial data. Do you have a link to your specific type or the data sheet?by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... look into the data sheet of the LED stripe, which current it uses ... then check, what max. current is supported by the output ...by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... some other methodes to coat printed housings with metal is to spray or paint it with a conductive material, then use galvanics to coat it with the metal, previously solved in the galvanic bath. Here are some paints or copper-stripes or other eventually usefull and slightly cheaper conductives -by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... is the drawn current supported? ... and what's with the polarity or reference level?by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... there are some, but not conducting as good, as pure metal ( or [3dk.berlin]) I'm coating the surface with a thin layer of metal and repeat this, until the thickness is sufficient for the needed current. But the material could be any other typt too - plastic, ceramic, glass, ... - or any combination in any count or variation of materials in the stacked "layers". Here for example Titanium oby VDX - Firmware - Marlin

... here one of the testresults with copper - from left to right the "printed" layer heights were from "0" to some ten nanometers to maybe 1 micrometer on the rightmost side. When repeating this 2x, then from mid to right the layers starts to get "thick enough" to look metallic, as pure copper chould beby VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... in one of my actual projects I'm trying to create and to "print" ultra thin layers with down to some hundred nanometer thickness -- but it's not with "common" FDM, but more with thermo-transfer ... but too, experimented, what's the thinnest layer height, possible with FDM and smaller bore diameters - best was 20 microns with a 0.1mm (100microns) bore, but not really usefull or reproducible .by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... yes, this is, what I know or remember ...by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
... IIRC it was first pretty simple, without any internal compensation, as you move the head in Z, until the paper is just caught, then set this position as "0". The next, more "comfortable" adjust, was the Z-offset parameter, measured with the "paper methode", then saved into the parameter set. All this fancy "calculation" was then added for the automatic bed-level measuring with a probe ...by VDX - Firmware - Marlin

... with my methode its halfway between "FDM" and a "paste-dispenser", what I was developing and using many ears. Instead of a heated chamber to melt the material and extrude it in a "semifluid" state, I'm touching the surface with a "cold" wire and then only melt the tip, touching the surface, so it forms and releases a droplet of molten metal, if retracting the wire before switching the laser(by VDX - Developers

I was testing with "metall-FDM-3D-printing" with weldig alloys or solid metals like platinum, melting them with lasers ... it's working, but you'll need a much more sphisticated and expensive setup, than common with the DIY-3D-printers - mostly for shielding gas an all needed shielding against the reflected laser beams ...by VDX - General
