Those measurements suggested that my initial correction to the Table 1 values weren’t quite correct, but a similar correction might work as long as I didn’t change the insulating wrap. This graph includes a linear fit to the Nozzle TC data, based on the original M2 firmware’s Table 1 thermistor data and cotton insulation:

M2 Extruder Thermistor Recal – Table 1 Insulated – Nozzle TC linear fit

Applying that equation to Table 1 produces this thermistor lookup table:

#if (THERMISTORHEATER_0 == 8) || (THERMISTORHEATER_1 == 8) || (THERMISTORHEATER_2 == 8) || (THERMISTORBED == 8) // M2 thermistors on RAMBO

I extrapolated the last entry from the previous two, because if the table doesn’t include an entry for 0 °C, then when you turn the heater off, the setpoint winds up being the lowest temperature greater than zero. Doesn’t make any difference, I think, but looks odd.

Load that table, run the temperature up, record more data:

M2 Extruder Thermistor Recal – slope-offset fit from Table 1

The error isn’t particularly pretty, being off by +4 °C at the high end. You could hand-tweak the linear fit equation to push the error down at normal operating temperatures, but it’s close enough for my purposes.

Although I don’t have any numbers, one benefit of tighter thermal coupling to the extruder nozzle is greatly reduced overshoot during heating.
