A few months ago I bought a screw in thermistor for my enders pro hot end and I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Mine broke and I am trying to find a replaxement but rhe same thg on amazon.ca is $50 or so Can and on Amazon.com it was like $12 US but they are out of stock. I have no idea why they even cost $12 because they are nothing but I hate the fiddly usual ones. They are supposed to be good for nearly all Chinese 3d printers. Does anyone know where to get them for a dexent price and not a 3 month wait?

The main issues with thermistors is that they may not come into contact with the inside of the heater block or due to the movement of the heater block rattle inside returning different values over time depending on the position.
Thats why you need to insert them all the way in, until the touch the end of the hole and tighten the screw between the wires, without breaking the insulation, which cause false readings.

Just a side note: When replacing them you should make sure they are the same type or your temperatures will be all over the place. In that case you need to compile the firmware of your printer to make it recognize the new sensor version. Usually a version is used that is 100K on 25°C or so. But even if that is true the curve can be different.

I could have bought them on Ebay.ca and had two for the price of one and actually less . Less for delivery etc. $Can instead of $US. I have already ordered the other and I think it will last till I sell my Ender 3 pro and buy the duel printer head that Ender 5r is getting. After I see how he likes it.
