Protip: Don't forget to adjust your thermistor values

Use this for the e3d v6 hotend thermistor:

M305 P1 T100000 B4388 R4700 H30 L0

Was wondering why the extruder was having a hard time pushing filament... turns out the sensor temperature was reading higher then it was.

As for the bed:
M305 P0 T100000 B4286 R4700 H30 L0

This optimizes it slightly for the lower bed temps.

I experience the exact same thing.

What is the best and inexpensive way to measure real temp?

Get a thermocouple from ebay or something. Either way, if you've got a similar thermistor, the settings above should work.

In theory E3D V6 should be the same settings as stock hotend. They have same thermistor according to specs.
