Re: Thermocoupler reading odd - CTC sailfish

would that interfere with the reading of the sensor?

Should think so because its the thing heating do if that's not right the thermo coupler reading could be off I guess

But if you have got it working I would just cary on using it as is until it dose it again but hopefully it wont

Good luck lol

Re: Thermocoupler reading odd - CTC sailfish

Have you tested the heating element or extruder to see if they are working properly
