Temperature Reading Issue with NTC 10k B3950 Thermistor on Octopus V1.1

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble with temperature readings on a newly assembled Voron 2.4 350mm equipped with an BTT Octopus V1.1 board. I’m using a 10k B3950 NTC thermistor to measure the chamber temperature, but Klipper is showing incorrect readings (for example, 80°C instead of 20°C at room temperature).

I've already tried two new thermistors, and I’m still getting the same incorrect readings, so it doesn't seem to be a sensor issue. My current configuration in printer.cfg is as follows:

[temperature_sensor chamber_temp]
sensor_type: Generic 3950
sensor_pin: PF5
min_temp: 0
max_temp: 100
gcode_id: chamber_th

For reference, I also have a Voron 2.4 300mm and a Trident 250mm, both working without issues. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or knows how to fix these readings on an Octopus V1.1?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You might have made the mistake of buying the same 10k 3950 sensors I got.

A generic 3950 is expected to be a 100k resistance.

Here's the config I used to use the 10k:

INI:
[thermistor generic_10k_3950]
  temperature1: 25
  resistance1: 10000
  beta: 3950

[temperature_sensor chamber_temp]
  sensor_type: generic_10k_3950
  sensor_pin: PF5
  {The rest as you see fit}

Thanks, that fixed it! Accurate readings now. Appreciate it!
