Just a quick question. Im upgrading my heatbed wiring on my ormerod 1 from the old ribbon cable and will be utilising the screw terminals on the duet, what wire is best to use? and what thermistor is best to use? because I want to change that while I'm at it. (had a few temp issues), Cheers in advance.

Hi,

This is the thermistor that was shipped with Ormerods - [uk.farnell.com]]

The cable should be two core with a cross section greater to or equal to 1.32mm^2. Often HiFi loud speaker cable works well.

If you have any trouble getting hold of the bits you need, let me know as we still supply parts for Ormerod.

Best wishes
Sally
