Temperature Sensors for 3D Printer Extruder Heating Elements
 |  |
Temperature sensors measure the temperature of the 3D printer's heating block, convert it into an electrical signal, and send it to the printer controller. This tells the printer when the heating element is warmed up and ready to print, and helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the printing process. When choosing your sensor, make sure the maximum temperature of your heating element does not exceed the maximum temperature of the sensor.

Before installing printer components onto the 3D printer's heating block, coat the mounting holes with non-bonding heat transfer compounds. Also known as thermal paste, these compounds transfer heat to temperature sensors, which improves accuracy. They also keep components from sticking to the heating block, making them easier to remove.
