17.4 – Wire Prep: The Hot End Thermistor Connector
For this task, you'll need the following materials:
The thermistor leads can be found inside R
AMBo parts
baggie (marked “RAMBo v1.3 Kit” or similar).
The first thing you'll need to do is trim the hot end
thermistor and hot end power wires to their working length. You
want about 8” of wire as measured from the front edge of the
machine, as routed through the front vertical support.
Unwrap the thermistor leads you got from the RAMBo box and cut them so you've got about 3”
of wire after the 2 pin connector.
Solder the shortened thermistor leads to the 18ga
white & green wires. Use the same splicing technique
you used when working on the EZStruder stepper motor.
Note that if you have the white, 26ga “A” wires,
you'll solder those to the thermistor connector instead of
the 18ga white & green.
When you're done, cover the solder joints with Kapton tape and label the leads, “T0 HOT END
THERMISTOR” (That's a “T” followed by a zero.)
