Topic: quick question about jhead, can i reuse thermsistor?

I am going to put a head on my solidoodle 2.  I have the thermsistor from my original hot end and it still works.  Is there any reason I shouldn't reuse it in the head?  Also I pulled the wire from the white connector for the nichrome wire heater.  Can I reuse that white connector or should I go with a brand new one?

It'll be perfectly fine to re-use either of these parts.

The one from hotends.com had large and small thermistor holes so it would fit whichever one you have.   It also came with a thermistor as well.

Re: quick question about jhead, can i reuse thermsistor?

I got mine from tridprinting.com when I got my arms for the rostock I want to build.  I will have to check if it has two holes.  Next question is there a special tool I need to use to push the wire into the white plug or will the awl on my leatherman be ok?
