This post is a follow up from Part 1<\/strong><\/a> regarding the general types of sensor.<\/p>

Part 2<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0will go in details about the performance between sensors while keeping in mind the 3D printer application.<\/p>

Part 3<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>will provide explanations regarding our choice to go with a thermistor. Finally, some common mistakes are explained regarding temperature sensors.<\/p>

Thermal sensor performance<\/h2>

Below is a graphical comparison for certain key aspects of temperature sensing in 3D printers. Please note that these values are\u00a0based on the most common microcontroller configuration used in 3D printing, which are 8 bits microcontroller with 10 bits ADC. Having a\u00a0higher ADC resolution will improve sensor resolution. Most 32 bits microcontroller\u00a0benefit from a 12 bits ADC.<\/p>

Better resolution can be obtained with specialized measurement devices, such as MAX31855, AD595, MAX6675 for thermocouple and MAX31865 for RTD. These specialized chips will be analyzed if the following sections.<\/p>
