After digging around on the internet for a couple of hours I think I found what type both thermistors are but I cant find the C value for them and I am not sure which to pick from the list in the RRF configuration tool as there seems 2 that have similar Beta settings
The ones I think the thermistors are these 100K ohm NTC 3950FB

It also looks very glossy which can mean it's printed too hot.

Look into doing a temp tower test where the temp gets changed at certain points up a tower so you can visually see the results. If the thermistor isn't very accurate when you think you are using 210 it could actually be 240. So in absence of accurate measurements, you can still determine a good set point experimentally. In other words, it doesn't matter if you use 190 or 220 so long as the results look good.

Not sure what you think but 205c looks ok to me and it is also what is recommended on the filament.

@Phaedrux I have tried it again and though it is creating the resurrect file now it is not resuming, I think my power supply maybe the issue here so I will have to leave this where it is until I can purchase a better power supply for the printer.

Plus I am waiting on a new e3d brass hotend nozzel as I think a lot of my stringging issues could be due to the hardened nozzel I have from what I have read elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to help me with this.

There is a few different ones on that site. All I did was printed it in vase mode for a test.

The bearings were really smooth as I tested them when I 1st built it and it probably has done less than 100 hours of printing. But on another print I did that was bigger the banding is a lot more pronounced like it is increasing with the size of whatever is printed.
