Hi i would have a question on the expansion card(s) for the Mini 5+
Have to run 7x Drivers so i'm i getting it right that i would need 2x Duet 3 Toolboards (via CAN) ?
EDIT: i found the answer in the electrical connection documentation -> Mini 2+ expansion card

Is there already information how many DHT´s will be supported? I suspect that is related to the number of SPI that are accessible? Regards, Lucas

Should get mine dec 31st from filastruder.com.

It will go in a Ender 3 Pro stock with BL touch.

I'll try to do a nice writeup and how to.

Is there a board DXF available for creating a mount?

Hi,

I ordered my boards from overseas now. I know, that does not make any sense, but E3D are to slow for me at the moment.

Btw: The first holder for the new kid on the block:

Not fancy but it should do it's job.

Cheers, Chriss

Speaking of which... any news on stocks ? (please including the expansion card...what's the name for it 2+ ?)

It would appear the mini-5+ has the same hole spacing/foot print as the Duet-2 as my mini-5+ fitted on the same mount as the Duet-2

oc_geek

@CaLviNx yes if you check drawings same placement

Chriss

I got my board 2 minutes ago.
It traveled from the USA to good old Germany faster than the guys in the UK made it available on there stock. Strange world....

T3P3Tony

@oc_geek Not sure why e3d did not list their stocks before the Christmas break, hopefully they will soon.

The mini 2+ will go into production next week.

Stocks of the mini 5+ will start to go out to our other resellers next week. We have not got enough from this production run for all of them

I'm sorry but the drawing do not seams to be accurate. I designed a holder based on the drawing and the board do not fit.

So I measured a hole distance :
Long site: 115mm
Sort site: 92mm

The drawing says:
Long site: 115mm
Sort site: 96mm

I'm sorry, but the 96 must be wrong. I measured 92mm, and the printed 96mm part is to wide that the board to not fit.

Cheers, Chriss
