I bought this one:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/291385773137?_t … EBIDX%3AIT

and drilled a hole on the top of the extruder for it.  http://soliforum.com/i/?4XvbUcW.jpg

I've had no problems with it and hopefully with the thin wire more out of the way, it will stay better protected.

But I haven't had time to find the beta that is used in rep for davinci thermistors, so I'll get that info soon if I can find it.

This one worked for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00THZ … &psc=1

EPCOS needs a seperate temp table to work.

You need to find a thermistor with the correct beta number as the davinci

I have a DaVinci 1.0a and I broke one of the thermistor wires.

This link might help. Gives some general theory and trouble shooting  ideas.

I bought the same thermistor and it does the same thing, except it only gets to 140C max. I don't know if the temp is correct though. I didn't get any burning yet.

I'm running a DaVinci 1.0a with stock 1.0.3 firmware. My original thermistor wire broke so I replaced it with a RioRand 100kohm NTC thermistor off Amazon. Everything seems to have gone back together fine, but when I test it out by using the load filament on the menu, I have problems. The display shows it getting to about 205C and still heating (but display T not rising any more), but at the extruder I get smoke and bubbling and it's clearly burning the filament. Something seems wrong in the way the machine is reading the thermistor T.

I see posts about changing the thermistor table using Repetier, but I'm on stock firmware and would prefer that if possible since I don't have time at the moment to learn the new firmware. I print with Simplify3D and have been reasonably happy with that so far.

Any suggestions on what might be going wrong, or what I could test?
thanks!
