Thermocouple problems

@stienfromarden said in Thermocouple problems:

Is it an option te reuse the type j termocouple wires to extend the pt1000? just for about 20cm to reach the termination box? these wires are steel braided and can handle some high temperature..

Doing so will introduce a small temperature error. The size of that error will depend on the temperature difference between the two ends of that thermocouple wire. It may be insignificant, I haven't done the sums.

@dc42 thank you very much for the answer!

I did not now if these:

pt1000's were ok I don't know much about them but I hope it will work! Can't wait to power up the extruder an PRINT!

Any PT1000 should be OK as long as it is electrically isolated from the hot end metalwork.
