Anyway, here are the kits:
Temperature Sensor v1.1 Kit
This kit allows you to measure the temperature on your extruder using a thermistor. [...]

New Space with NYC Resistor!
Contrary to the grand name of the RepRap Research Foundation, its a small one-man operation. Previously, the RRRF was being run out of a small, 10′x20′ lofted space that I rented from my work. That was great, but it was not convenient at all. It was located in [...]
