Selftest Error

Printer was working fine for 5-6 prints after receiving it but now I get "Please check : Heater/thermistor not connected" message. I've checked all visible connections and still get the same error. I've tried factory reset, firmware reinstall, moving the cables around (possible short or loose connection) and nothing seems to work.

Re: Selftest Error

Do you get a sane temperature reading in support/ temperature?

In Support->Temperatures, they all fluctuate/change except "Nozzle = 0"

Temperatures as shown

Nozzle: 0C
Bed : 20C-22C
Ambient: 26C-27C
PINDA: 20C-21C

On the Main screen I'm now getting an "Err: MinTemp" message

Re: Selftest Error

Best case, the connector to the Einsey vibrated loose. Unplug the printer open the door, make sure all the connectors are snug.

Worst case, there's a broken wire somewhere, and you need to replace the thermistor out to the print head.

When someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "YES!"

Connector is snug...

How do I go about purchasing a replacement thermistor?

Thanks

Prusa Shop is always a good place to start looking.
