Hot-Swappable Design

Customers have generally positive opinions about the hot-swappable design of the HEX EPCOS Thermistor Upgrade for Creality Ender 3, Ender 5 and CR10 3D Printers.

The upgrade is described as sturdy and secure compared to industry-standard thermistors, but some users have had issues with compatibility and connector quality.
