Hotend thermister issue
Perhaps someone can shed some light on this issue for me. Unit is MK3s all stock. I have no issues printing pla,petg,tpu,etc.
I have min temp (hotend) error in the mornings (cool basement 17c) That is still above the threshold. I decided it was maintenance time anyway and replaced the thermister with a new PRUSA thermister (checked and unit is good). Next morning same issue. I have checked on the last 3 versions of firmware (passed on lasted firmware upgrades). Wiring is good. warming up the hotend first and I can print all day with no issues. Unit is in an enclosure with an open front. My guess is the einsy board?
Thanks
RE:
If I read this right in the morning you get mini temp but once heated it's fine am I correct

RE: Hotend thermister issue
Thanks for replying. Yes you are correct. This started about 13 days ago. In the morning once I start up the temp always reads 9C (thermometer in enclosure will be at 17c. If I heat the nozzle to 15 error gets corrected a restart and I am good till the next day. I can print anything I want for as long as I do not let it cool down fully.
RE: Hotend thermister issue
there is a safety setting in the firmware to prevent heating when low temperatures are sensed. it's nothing to worry about. I have one of my printers in an unheated caravan,
If I don't have a cup of coffee to put on the build plate, to heat the heatbed and hot end, I rest my hand on the heatbed and touch the hot end, after a couple of minutes the heat of my hand warms the thermistors enough to overcome the mintemp issue

I used to race to the preheat menu when first starting my printer in the morning. Once it got up to temp I'd either start printing or initiate a cooldown. That was usually enough to avoid the mintemp warning.

It's making me think the on board thermistor is playing up

Do this I think it's settings then temperature and see what it reads And also go calibration then temperature calibration
