CTC genuine thermocouple source ?

[Coyote]

Reaching out to anyone that can help, my printers just stopped half way through a print with NA displayed on the extruder temp, no problem, thermocouple fail.

I swapped it over for another  but it can't be genuine. powered it back up and the coupler got that hot it started melting the plastic. I had bout what I was lead to believe were the correct ones ( because the CTC Bizer is for some stupid reason all 24v not 12v ) but looking at what happened they aren't.

Dies anyone have a UK supplier link to genuine compatible ones I can get.

Cheers

There was one just down the road in Whitby who has sold 225 of them but is 'sold out'.

No neither are genuine ones Paul.

Turns out that's the least of my worries, its took out a chip on the motherboard and fried the main power connection :(

Now unsure, apparently any K type will work, but it was a K type I plugged in last night that burned up.

Was it the thermocouple or the board ?

Was the replacement couple faulty ?

The previous thermocouple didn't seem to burn up. So when I get the replacement board, I'm not sure I want to plug one in "to find out"

I feel your pain, I know you love your 3D printer so you're going to be grumpy until its working again  ;D
