RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) - Slice Engineering
Platinum Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Pt1000 and Pt100 sensors are highly accurate temperature measurement solutions for 3D printing. With platinum resistance elements, they provide precise temperature control, ensuring consistent and high-quality prints. Their wide temperature range allows for working with diverse materials, while easy adaptation and installation make them suitable for many 3D printer builds.
High Accuracy
The RTD Pt1000 and Pt100 sensors provide exceptional accuracy in temperature measurements. Featuring platinum resistance elements, they ensure precise temperature control, resulting in consistent and high-quality prints. You can rely on their accuracy to achieve optimal printer performance, especially in high-temperature cases.
Wide Temperature Range
With a broad temperature range from -50°C to 500°C, these RTD sensors enable you to work with various materials, including high-temperature filaments. From freezing cold to extreme heat, these sensors deliver reliable and accurate temperature readings, allowing you to explore diverse printing applications and environments.
Easy Adaptation and Installation
Our RTD sensors come with 2-meter-long bare leads, offering flexibility and ease of integration into any 3D printer build. The RTD Pt1000 is ideal for any Pt1000-compatible 3D printer. However, if your stock printer is configured for a Pt100, we recommend sticking with that option to avoid firmware adjustments. With straightforward adaptation, you can focus on your printing projects without unnecessary complications.
Compatibility Options
The Pt1000 and Pt100 RTD sensors are compatible with various 3D printer boards and firmware. Whether you require Pt1000 or Pt100 compatibility, you can choose the sensor that aligns with your specific setup. While the Pt1000 offers compatibility with many boards out of the box, the Pt100 will require the use of a MAX31865 Amplifier. Firmware instructions, as well as the RT table, are provided in the downloads section below to assist you in configuring your system effectively.
Note: A dowel pin is included to fill in the extra space in the temperature sensor slot of the hot block. More information can be found in the installation instructions of the downloads section below.
