100K Ohm NTC 3950 Thermistor Sensors Set of 5
A thermistor is a type of temperature sensor commonly used in 3D printers to measure the temperature of the printer's hotend and heated bed. The thermistor's resistance changes with temperature, allowing the printer to accurately control the temperature of the printing environment. When selecting a thermistor for a 3D printer, there are a few key factors to consider: Type: There are different types of thermistors, such as NTC and PTC, which have different temperature-resistance curves and may be more suitable for certain applications. Resistance value: The thermistor's resistance value should match the printer's control board and firmware settings to ensure accurate temperature readings. Temperature range: The thermistor should be able to accurately measure the temperature range required for the printer's hotend and heated bed. Size and shape: The thermistor should fit within the printer's design and be compatible with the hotend and heated bed. Some commonly used thermisto
