E3d V6-KIT-PT100 Sensor Upgrade Kit

E3D V6 PT100 Sensor Upgrade Kit: High-Temperature Precision for Professional 3D Printing

Elevate your 3D printing capabilities and unlock the full potential of your E3D V6 HotEnd with the PT100 Sensor Upgrade Kit. Designed for makers, professionals, and enthusiasts who demand the highest level of performance, this kit replaces your standard thermistor with a high-precision, industrial-grade PT100 platinum resistance sensor. Push the boundaries of material science by accurately printing high-temperature engineering polymers like PEEK, Ultem, and Polycarbonate, while achieving superior accuracy and reliability even at standard temperatures for materials like PLA, ABS, and PETG. This upgrade is the definitive step towards achieving flawless first layers, exceptional dimensional accuracy, and repeatable, professional-quality results on every print.

Key Benefits
* Extreme High-Temperature Performance: Confidently print with advanced, high-temperature filaments. The PT100 sensor is significantly more capable and robust than traditional thermistors at elevated temperatures, providing stable and accurate readings well beyond 300°C, making it ideal for demanding industrial and engineering applications.
* Unmatched Temperature Accuracy: Experience a new level of precision. Unlike thermistors, which can have wide tolerances, PT100 sensors are manufactured to tight standards (Class B), offering highly accurate and linear temperature measurements across their entire operating range. This leads to more consistent extrusion, better layer adhesion, and a visible improvement in print quality.
* Enhanced Reliability and Durability: The sensor is housed in a sleek, easy-to-install metal cartridge, offering robust protection against the rigors of daily printing. This design is far more durable than fragile glass-bead thermistors, reducing the risk of damage during installation or maintenance and ensuring long-term operational reliability.
* Simplified Integration: Engineered for a seamless upgrade path, the PT100 sensor cartridge is a drop-in replacement for the standard thermistor cartridge in your E3D V6 heater block. Combined with the included amplifier board and straightforward firmware adjustments, the installation process is streamlined for a quick return to printing.

Main Features
* High-Precision Platinum Resistance Sensor (PT100)
* Robust All-Metal Cartridge Design for Durability
* Dedicated Signal Amplifier Board for Clean, Accurate Readings
* Wide Operational Temperature Range for Engineering-Grade Materials
* Seamless Compatibility with the E3D V6 Ecosystem
* Designed for Straightforward Firmware Integration

Allow your HotEnd to print at higher temperatures with better accuracy and easier assembly with the E3D PT100 sensor and amplifier board bundle.

PT100 upgrade kit.

The E3D PT100 amplifier board amplifies the signal from the PT100 to a voltage level that your printer controller can read easily and accurately.

Our amplifier board is inspired by the circuit design from the Ultimainboard V2 controller board, but with enhanced filtering for robust and accurate temperature measurement.

This means it´s compatible with temperature sensor ´20´ in Marlin firmware.

For more information regarding how to set up the amplifier board please see our guide.
