    I can not get rid of this MINTEMP error. have tried several times rebooting unplugging and various other things but it only seems to work once and then its back to MINTEMP again. HELP!

    Did you check cabling of your PT100 to the PT100 board and from the board to the RUMBA?
    You got Pro or Dual btw?

    If that seems ok just pull of the PT100 from the and use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the PT100. Should be round 105 Ohms at room temperature. If you can't get your multimeter contacts into the connector just connect it to the board again and use the angled PINs there to connect. Power off your printer when you do this...

    Yes I have just unplugged and plugged in all the cables to both the printer and the RUMBA (for the PT100) and am now seeing if it has made any difference. It just seems to be ditching out at 190deg. Now we wait........

    Bed is at temp.......
    Dead.

    Notice the weird dip not long into the code?! I have no idea whats going on!

    Well I have no experience with that but for me it looks like a broken PT100. If it heats up and shows the temp to a certain border and then suddenly a MINTEMP error occurs this means that the firmware gets a wrong value from the temp sensor...

    It is currently 120 ohms but it is probably still a little warm,

    The sounds normal. As I wrote, it may be broken if it can report up to a certain temperature and then has an undefined resistance the board cannot handle...

    That's a new board then? Or new sensor! please say board!

    Maybe heat it up and measure the resistance while it is heating to see what the value is when the RUMBA goes to the MINTEMP error?
    Here is a table in the article showing the values a PT100 has for some temperatures...

    UPDATE: I switched around the sensors and it's problem solved. BigBox are sending me a new one tonight so I should have it tomorrow. Then I will have to feed it through! Any suggestions on an inventive way of doing without having to fish out all the cables?!

    Hmmmm that PT100 cable is really stiff so I would try to feed it through the sleeve from the bottom. If you got some luck it will slip through the heat shrink too...

    mine is dual extruders. I have the same Mintemp error when both sensors are connected but when I disconnect sensor 1 from the board leaving the power connected to both boards, it give Maxtemp error. please help me on this

    All PT100's must be connected at all times

    I currently only have one extruder installed on a dual machine, the second PT100 is connected and just lying in the base for now

    Can you post pictures of how they're seated in the hotend and the wiring on the board? After error free printing for the past while I got some mintemp errors this morning, removed and reseated the sensor and now its fine. With a multimeter you can test the sensors as someone else mentioned to see if continuity is broken.

    Picture are the wiring on the board. Tested that sensor 1 no ohm reading and sensor 2 111.6ohms at 27 degree C temp

    if you're getting no reading then that points to the pt100 being faulty.

    Ok. Thanks. I will email support on this. Hopefully can get the replacement soon.

    Just started getting the error as well, one sensor shows 105 ohms and the other 53 ohms. :(
    And I was just going to do my first useful print... I guess I will have to try switching out the sensors between the two extruders and hope the replacement comes in soon for the other one.

    Similar problem here. Print failed mid-print with no sign of problems, now I just get "Error: MINTEMP triggered, system stopped! Heater_ID: 1" every time I turn on the printer.
    The PT100 for heater 0 reads 105 ohms, but for heater 1 I can't get any reading at all.
