Phaetus/DropEffect High Temperature M4 Threaded Thermistor

Genuine Phaetus/DropEffect XG replacement thermistor for replacing a damaged hotend temperature sensor on the DropEffect XG ecosystem. The package label identifies this as the 104NT-4-R025H42G sensor assembly.

Why this part

• Drop-in replacement for the Phaetus/DropEffect XG hotend thermistor instead of adapting a generic glass-bead sensor.

• High-temperature glass NTC element rated by Semitec for an operating range of -50°C to 300°C.

Fitment and setup

Use this when the original XG thermistor is damaged or reading incorrectly. If you are refreshing the same toolhead, pair it with nozzles for the Phaetus/DropEffect XG hotend.

Gotchas

• This is not a PT1000 sensor; do not configure firmware as PT1000.
• This is not a generic 3950 thermistor; use the matching Semitec 104NT-4 / 104NT table for accurate temperature readings.
• Confirm connector and mounting style against your hotend before installing, especially if you are adapting it outside the DropEffect XG ecosystem.
