Thank you!

Only the best with the best. I quit buying cheap china crap. Went e3d and wont go back.

Thanks for the information. The former is an option for the ormerod I'll be building at home. I'll wait for the latter for the machine for work as ordering from ebay is mear impossible for work unless I whack a 40% premium on it and get a local company to order it for is! 😮

@number40fan:

YWatch the wiring for the motors.

On the Duet, the wires of the motors are A-A-B-B so two wires of the same phase next to each other.
Most motors I have seen use blue-red and green-black as pairs. If you are not sure, use an ohm meter or just short circuit two wires of the motor - if moving the motors by hand start to feel more difficult those are two wires from the same phase.

O - of course do this with the wires not connected to the electronics and the printer switched off.

So if I'm understanding it correctly and I buy the Duet Wifi board with a Paneldue I'm pretty much set to installing it

Yes - I just bought a Duet Wifi and a PanelDue with 5" LCD for a printer that I converted.
If you want to use the SD card on the LCD module, you also need a 10-pin ribbon cable.

Note that if you want to upgrade to a thermocouple or PT100 sensor in your hot-end you also need a sensor and the matching daughterboard.

Wiring and configuration is a piece of cake, I got my printer printing after a day or so.

Not sure where you're located, but we have both in stock here in the US (Filastruder).

Beautiful. Perfect for friday print

Edit:
Ready to print models. Not the best, not the worst

Please send an email to info@duet3d.com and we will sort something.

Yep there is 2 jumpers on the second z. I remapped z to the spare E driver and my z axis in now working. Faulty Z driver!! Been in touch with Duet and we are going through the warranty return process. Thanks for your help

Awesome thank you

I'm one of those with the wifi issues.
Im sure the wifi is an amazing option, until it doesn't work then its beyond frustrating.
A wired unit lets you connect it to your network with zero issues and if you need wifi, connect it to a tp-link travel router or other similarly inexpensive option.

Hi Mel

Have you seen this thread?

https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=1668

Hopefully can give you some pointers.

Ok,

thanks, solved…. It was a mistake mine... I was buying if i was a company.

Order made.

Thanks

The Duet WiFi and Ethernet has 5 drivers on board with connectivity for up to 7 more via expansion headers. If you need 6 drivers you can either connect a single external driver or use the Duex2 which adds lots of additional functionality but at a cost. See

Hope so! I expect to have some.of those available next week.

Cheers

@dc42:

This is what we normally advise https://www.amazon.com/HT-225D-Cycle-Ratchet-Crimping-interchangeable/dp/B007JLN93S/ref=sr_1_1. Also widely available on eBay. This https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071X8PG4B looks good to.

Wish i had known about the interchangeable die set when i bought mine.

I think in terms of marketing/customer education, this issue about how a wifi controller prints needs to be made quite clear to users, many of whom presume you can (or should!) drip feed gcode over wifi. I wonder if there is a way to make it quite obvious how it works such as

"Send whole gcode files to your card via wifi rapidly, then print direct from the memory card - total reliability, no PC required to print!"

Seems the order status dosn't change when you ship stuff. Received my board yesterday, and all good 🙂
