After discovering my stock hot end was leaking like a sieve I decided to upgrade to a Micro-swiss all metal hot end and direct drive. So I jumped in my truck and commenced to driving the 90 mile round trip to Micro-Center.
Two hours into the build after being as careful as possible the instruction video tells you to heat up the hot end to do a final tightening of the screws, all went well until about 1500c then all the sudden the alarm went off and the screen was showing the Ender dragon and blinking on and off.
I powered it down tried to check all the connections and restarted it, same result about 2 seconds into power up the alarm goes off and the screen starts blinking. So I proceeded to try and deconstruct the problem and discovered if i loosened the screw that holds the tiny thermister in the hole the alarm went off and the screen came on. I proceeded to check the thermister for any visible signs of damage, I can see none. So i carefully tightened the screw back and it happened again.
Has anyone run into this before? Do i need to update? I have a hard time believing i damaged it as careful as I was but if that is the case...
Thanks,
