[Gulfcoast Robotics] HEX EPCOS Thermistor Upgrade for Creality Ender 3 Ender 5 CR10 3D Printers 1 Meter Extension Cable

Prior to my cr10s pro I had a Wanhao I3 and had a similar thermistor setup. Moving from that to the easy to break ones felt like such a huge step backwards so I was excited when I saw GCR finally made this available for the creality printers. Overall, this works great. It does exactly what it's supposed to do with only minutes to install. It does get a little tight in there, but overall it'll fit.

Ender 3 Pro 1.5 4.2.7 board with MicroSwiss direct drive and hotend as well as this thermistor and a 50w heater. The only thing I changed is I cut the connector out and soldered the wires so there's an unbroken connection all the way back to the mainboard. Sensor works flawlessly and does not look like some half baked pile of deuce hanging out the side of the hotend. Keeps pace with the ridiculously fast heating time of the 50w heater without complaint. I will purchase another soon because there's a Voxelab Aquila inbound.............

I wanted to come on here and put a review. Recently I purchased two of these and after a bit began running into thermal runaway issues. Researched these a bit more and found out that you have to recompile your firmware and set the TEMP_SENSOR from "1" to "5". Then it will work with no problems. Anyway, the product works great. The issue I have is the seller left this piece of important information out.

I kept having issues with "thermal run-a-way" on my Ender 3 pro. I heard about this upgrade and decided to give it a try. WOW! Am I pleased. I replaced the stock thermistor with this one about 6-8 months ago and have not had any more problems with "thermal run-a-way".

I kept having issues with the generic thermistor, so I spent the extra money and bought this one. Quality of product is excellent along with packaging and support. The threaded end makes for piece of kind compared to the stock ender mounting screw. To top it all off it comes with a silicone sock to increase accuracy and efficiency. Great product engineered with quality in mind.

No more worries about the thermistor falling out or cutting the leads trying to get it stuck in place. This thing is magical. Updated: When this first arrived, I was using the stock Ender 3 fan shroud, which I was able to bend a little, which angled the parts cooling fan a little. It worked, and was amazing. I printed a FANG fan shroud to upgrade the parts cooling to 20mm straight instead of blower. This nut is no longer 'too long', so nothing is bent and it's super clean. TL;DR: this is best if you aren't using the stock fan shroud.

I have been having a lot of thermistor issues, so when I installed this one it was really nice to know it wasn't well, fragile as glass. My only complaint is that the rubber insulatior sticks out just enough to impede the fan enclosure on on the hotend.

Screws in nice and tight on my Ender 3 Pro. I did have to drill a small hole on the side of the housing to get enough clearance to put it all back together. All the more reason to try a different fan duct like the Hero Me. I'll put these on all my printers that it can fit on!
