to be clear, on the bed there are the power cables and then the thermistor cables right?

that is normally the case

[Veti]

can you post a picture of the thermistor?

Each heater is 120x150mm

The probe\end stop has one but shared power circuits, the servo has a single feed to one pin with shared power, the hot ends have a single pin but share power also.

Shared +5V or +3.3v power and ground to the Z probe and the endstops is OK, if they use the same power voltage. Sharing power with the servo is also OK if they all need +5V power.

Shared +VIN power to two heaters is OK as long as the cable can handle the current for two heaters.

Thanks @dc42 I'll check the above. The two heaters are using the installed cabling so I should assume that it is up to the task. I am using the same PSU etc.

[Blacksheep99]

It has been mentioned in one of my other threads but worth me double checking. With my 24v psu I will need to change the fans on the printer to 24v also? the current ones are 12v. I think it's easier to replace than buy a converter?

[jay_s_uk]

Either way to be honest.
My preference is to use the correct voltage fans but other people are happy with buck converters

[Veti]

have you measured the resistance ?

[Blacksheep99]

169.1 Kohms If i read it correctly. That is at room temp which is cool today as there's no heating on at the moment in that room.

which is about what temperature?

[Blacksheep99]

@Veti thermostat in that room says 12c

I think I side with you. I'll order some fans

[Veti]

ok thats inline with a 100k ntc thermistor.

but which one is not as easy to determine.

can you put the thermistor at 100C using a known good temperature measuring tool?

i.e here is a beta 3950 resistance table.

I'm not sure how I'd go about that especially with what I have available at the moment. Am I daft thinking i could try suspend it in some boiling water and measure it then?

[Veti]

can you post a picture of the thermistor in the hotend?

I'll try. I've a work call now but will do it after.

thanks for your help.

How was the original board configured - maybe you can borrow some info from there?

[Blacksheep99]

Best I can manage at the moment. I'll have to take the shroud off etc.
