Rebuilding my extruder

Over the weekend I rebuilt my extruder after some adventures with a blowtorch.

I used Rick’s single nichrome wrap method, which served me well on my last re-build.  The documentation of his method is absolutely fantastic and a must-read if you’re rebuilding your heater.  (That page is about PLA, but the nichrome wrapping is pretty universal).

I’m not sure if I wrapped my thermistor better or what, but I seem to be getting more consistent readings from it.  Perhaps this is due to RepG v12?  I would tend to think not since I’m using RepG v12 with the Zach 1 temperature table – the same table I was using before RepG v12.
