I've had a problem installing the hotend thermistor. I found the PTFE heatshrink when shrunk was still too large to allow the thermistor to slide into the heater block. I have had to carefully cut the PTFE off from around the body of the thermistor in order to slide it in.
Is it possible the PTFE heatshrink has changed spec in kits? Mine is RS kit number 472.
With the heatshrink on the diameter was 2.39mm, the hole diameter is 2mm. The thermistor is 1.78mm.
