I have one I the stealthburner, one poking out of the z-chain and one in the top extrusion under the cover ("frame" thermistor). Then there's the one in the cartographer, but that's only for its own compensation, pretty useless as an indicator.
Do they show reasonably consistent temperatures? I've often wondered if I should have my thermistor at a fixed z height.
absolutely consistent, the stealthburner probe is usually at least 5°C higher than the z-chain one, but I think it's a viable option, after all when you start the print, your toolhead should be low, and if the temperature is ok at that height, it should be even hotter up top
Thank you for the information! I've been wondering if I should put the print head in a consistent location while waiting for the printer to heat soak. Sounds like it won't matter a ton.
Well, I have two macros for heatsoak, the one I use 90% of the time sets the tool head low at the center of the plate and turns on the part cooling fans to help heat the chamber up faster
