RTD's (aka PT100/PT1000) are '''positive''' resistance temperature devices meaning that their resistance '''increases with higher temperature readings''', which is the exact opposite behavior of a what typical 3D printer NTC thermistor would do! This means that if you read a high resistance value on your thermistor channel/wires, you are interpreting a reading for a high temperature, and a low temperature would read as a short or low resistance measured across the thermistor.
 
  
Also note that the Duet Meastro and Duet 3HC boards have thermistor inputs with a 2.2k ohm sense resistor, which means they are optimised to function with PT1000's much better than a Duet WiFi/Ethernet board (which have 4.7k ohm sense resistors on board). This value if not specified in the M308 lines will be automatically selected by the FW For the board in use. It is only listed for completeness.

E3D's Titan Aqua is a water-cooled HotEnd that also cools the Extruder. It's an all-metal HotEnd that can print at higher temperatures with additional equipment. The E3D Titan Aqua requires a water-cooling reservoir and radiator with fan. E3D sells a kit containing a reservoir, radiator with fan, and all required fittings and tubing. The pump and radiator fan in E3D's kit are 12V only: for 24V printers please use a DC-DC converter (more on this later).

Adapting the Default Tool Plate to mount an E3D Titan Aqua

Water Cooling Reservoir, Pump, Hoses, and Fittings

12V mixed with 24V

Effect on Other Tools

As a result of the increased size in Y over the default tool, the other tools' coupling plates needed offsetting. This design problem can be solved many ways; we chose to us a 15mm "spacer" with a 15mm M3 standoff press-fit into it.
