With a bit of luck you'll soon be telling us all "It doesn't Matter anymore" !!!

Well the seven hour print just completed with no errors. Matter Control did log one error because it didn't like the warm up sequence but it did not cause a stoppage and other than that nothing, everything ran fine. It could be that I got the problem by going over the wiring but I did notice that the extruder temp moved around a lot more than the bed temp. I"m going to order some back up thermistors just to have on hand. Thanks for all your help and input.

Have you ever run the PID Autotune, which is really easy to do with MatterControl, I run it everytime anything changes at my hotend, you would be surprised how stable your temperatures become once you do this. The g code is M303 E0 S??? C? , broken down M303 is PID Autotune, E0 is the hot end, S??? is the temperature you want to run, C?? is the number of cycles to run. The more cycles the better tuning you will get. And also start from room temp.
For my PLA it is M303 E0 S205 C8 For my PETG M303 E0 S235 C8
At the end you will be given Kp Ki Kd, take a note of those numbers, shut down the terminal open the Configure EEPROM window, you will find the space to input those figures, then you will find that hotend temperatures gets up faster and is more stable. Just as a note since I started this my temp will stay stable for 12 hour and longer prints, before I would see +/- 2° - 3° variance.

You should have a spare in the kit, but if you already used that one than this will work. The connector might not be the right one, but you can pop the pins out and push them in to the old connector. The most important part is the thermistor tables linked. That way you can match the values in marlin for accurate readings.
