Update to pevious post: It could be the temp you are trying to run the nozzle at. My printer does not like nozzle temps below 175. Most likely something that can be changed in firmware, but I'll leave that alone for now If any of you should find that the problem is with the temp sensor, DON"T overtighten the set screw! Tighten it to just touching. Don't tighten any further!by davmart12 - Printing
Wow! Lots of options here! I was going to try E-6000 on my next assembly, but I'll definitely check out a few of these suggestions if that doesn't work out! Thanks!by davmart12 - Printing
I have only been playing with my Hictop 3D printer for about 3 months, but have worked on electronics and machines for some time. I got the extruder temp fault during my first runs. I removed and checked the temp sensor- okay. After poking it back into the block I tightened the set screw finger-tight (just feel it touch the sensor "bead") then maybe another 1/8 ~ 1/4 turn.

Hi. You may already have figured this out, but I offer it as it may help others who are new to 3D printing and printers. I also encountered the extruder temp failure you described with my Hictop 3i. At first I thought the sensor was bad, so I removed it. It tested okay, so I poked it back into the heater block and carefully tightened the set screw until I could feel it just touching the sensorby davmart12 - Prusa i3 and variants
