thermistor bad reading

ninni

good evening everyone. I open this topic because I realized that the sensors of the bed and the hotend show temperatures that are not quite correct already at room temperature. the thermistors are of the type NTC 100k 3950. have you already faced this problem? thanks in advance

Veti

@ninni

ntc 3950 are really bad

the beta value of 3950 refers to the temperature range from 25-50 degrees.

Beyond that it changes from thermistor to thermistor. you can easily have temperature differences of 20C

if you want accurate readings i recommend semitec-104nt or pt1000

@ninni Duet type? Firmware version? config.g, or at least thermistor configuration? How much temperature difference are you actually seeing? Please supply at least some useful information so that we can help you! See https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5909/guide-for-posting-requests-for-help

For general thermistor information, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_thermistors_or_PT1000_temperature_sensors

If you suspect the Duet or firmware, try putting a 100k ohm resistor on the Duet temperature pins, and see what temperature it reports.

@Phaedrux sorry i dont understand
veti said me that semitec-104nt o pt1000 is very ood sensor

I linked you to the E3D Semitec-104GT thermistor cartridge which is what I think Veti was referring to. I don't think you'll find a better or easier to obtain thermistor with known values and appropriate form factor.

ninni

@Phaedrux ok tu so Much

Phaedrux

Does your hotend heat block take a cartridge thermistor or a glass bead?

ninni

@Phaedrux block thermistor

Phaedrux

Does it look like the little metal tube in the E3D link above, or does it look like a little glass bead?

ninni

@Phaedrux small metal tube

Phaedrux

Then that E3D thermistor is the one you want.

this is the alternative pt1000

ninni

@Veti ok we Will see

ninni

also I would like to report a bug. when the endstop is positioned upwards for the z axis the platter stops when it touches the endstop but if you give the command again it continues to rise ignoring that the limit switch was already pressed
