Re: Soliwiki Wrong?

When I got my E3D from Filastruder, I immediately noticed how small the thermistor was in comparison to the stock one. However, It is certainly an upgrade.
I am not an electrical expert, so I cannot give a definitive word of wisdom. sad
However, some of the best minds on here contribute regularly to Soliwiki.

Is the thermistor you are holding the old or the new?

Printit Mason and Printit Horizon printers
Multiple SD2s- Bulldog XL, E3D v5/v6/Lite6, Volcano, Hobb Goblin, Titan, .9 motor, Lawsy carriages, direct Y drive, fishing line...the list goes on
Filawinder and Filastruder #1870.....worth every penny!

Re: Soliwiki Wrong?

Smaller is better for thermistors, as it lowers the time constant.

OP, I'm not sure what you're asking here - as long as the setting in your firmware matches the installed thermistor, you're good to go.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder

I also believe that the blue connector for the thermistor on the e3d wiki is not right, but luckily some normal break-away headers can be used as well and maintain the easy coupling.

Re: Soliwiki Wrong?

Big one is the stock one vs the tiny ones from digikey.  so either way i can use both?

Re: Soliwiki Wrong?

You can use either, as long as it is properly setup on your firmware to use that kind of thermistor. I don't know if the one you have stock for your solidoodle has the same resistance correspondence as the one you bought.

For example, when you switch to the E3D it uses a different thermistor type in the firmware, so you have to change that.
