Wire Prep: The Hot End Thermistor Connector
For this task, you'll need the following materials:
Thermistor leads.
Unwrap the thermistor leads you got
from the RAMBo box and cut them so you've
got about 3" of wire after the 2 pin connector.
Fig. 16-19: Thermistor leads cut to length.
Solder the shortened thermistor leads to the 18ga white & green wires. We're doing this
because the crimp connectors aren't designed to handle 18ga wire.
Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide
The thermistor leads can be found inside RAMBo parts
baggie (marked "RAMBo v1.3 Kit" or similar).
The first thing you'll need to do is trim the hot end
thermistor and hot end power wires to their working length. You
want about 8" of wire as measured from the front edge of the
machine.

thermistor wires.
When you're done, cover the solder joints with
Kapton tape and label the leads, "T0 HOT END
THERMISTOR" (That's a "T" followed by a zero.)
