Topic: Replacing Da Vinci 1.0A Head Thermistor (Stock firmware)

Hello,

Does anyone know which thermistor would make a good replacement to the original?

(I refer to the head thermistor)

For what I've been reading thermistor temp table might vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as model.
I have stock firmware so wouldn't know how to update temp table in case I was using a thermistor other than the original.

Thanks!

If you just buy a generic 100k thermistor or EPCO equivalent it should be fine. I doubt very seriously that this company is using some name brand or special purpose thermistor on their $99 head.
