Review on HICTOP Thermistors Sensor Reprap Printer by James Ramirez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Check the connector style in an existing application.

I bought these thermistors for my Prusa MK2. I bought a pack of five because this is the second time I've had to replace the bed thermistor. I received the product quickly. They were neatly tied but still together. No separation problems. I installed it on my Prusa and it works great. It gives the exact temperature of the bed according to my infrared thermometer I. One problem is that it's not a replacement for the MK2. Prusa uses DuPont style connectors on this model and the ones I ordered were JST connectors. I don't have DuPont connectors and crimping tools so I had to do some grafting to get them working by replacing the old thermistor connector with a new one. These are longer and I forgot to cut to length before making the connector. So, there's a wire loop in the control box, but it fits.

Pros
  • Thermistor cable length: 1 m / 39.4 in.
Cons
  • Doubt
