Happy Parts.: Additive Manufacturing Products

I installed this hotend and it turned out to be of good quality. That worked fine for a while. Then I started getting Thermal Runaway and Shutdown errors. I assumed it was user error (like my fault) and tried to do a little refining and troubleshooting to avoid this issue. Unfortunately, it has only gotten worse over time. In the end, the error appears immediately when trying to heat the hotend. So I tried a different thermistor to make sure my new thermistor wasn't the problem. But unfortunately it was this thermistor that came with this hotend. The good news for those of you who buy this, or assume I'm just an idiot who doesn't know what you're doing, is that everything else worked fine. The heating element worked well. block worked fine. And Capricorn hoses are always a delight. I just think there might be questionable quality control at the company assembling these hot ends. My thermistor has failed and this is a big problem for me. Happy printing guys.
