Thermistors and thermocouples are very different. The HBP uses a thermistor, the hot ends use type K thermocouples. Changing the thermocouple won't make much difference to the reported temperature.

BE CAREFUL!
On my printer the right hand Y carriage block (the one that holds the X motor) cracked so I had to replace it.
Whilst I had it apart, I changed a whole bunch of other parts,...
I was going to reply on the other thread but I'll reply here since it's more active. When I said "if it ain't broke...", I wasn't referring so much to the kapton as to the whole HBP. At the end of...
What platform are you using? I use it fine on my mac. There are actually a couple of forks of gpx - one from dan newman (the sailfish guy) and then a fork of that too. I use the markwal one...
Slic3r needs to use gpx, irrespective of whether you're on sailfish or not. Simplify3D comes with it, with slic3r you need to add it yourself.
Your points about sailfish are on the money though....
problem is it's not true. Come back when you've tried it.
Why did you delete your post about thermocouples? Was it because everything you said was completely and utterly wrong?
I've never studied the thermocouple sections of the source code. However, I doubt it: that chip handles all the thermocouple reading and cold junction compensation and provides a reading of...
If it helps anyone, I wrote up what I did to mine, and why, at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1403267
How are you sure that your extruder temperature reads are accurate? an IR thermometer won't read such a small target accurately - especially given that the heater block is wrapped in ceramic tape....
