Ohms to high on thermistor?

Post by DeadLaine » Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:23 pm

recently I've been having problems with my extruder so I checked the resistance on the thermistor and it measured 112.7k ohms. is this good or is their a short?

That's not an unheard of value (they are 100k thermistors). I'd contact MakerGear support directly at this point.
