@Corexy Out of curiosity, whereabouts in the world are you?
I am on the lovely mid north coast of NSW, Australia, just out of Port Macquarie and about 70m from a patrolled surf beach.
It's absolutely beautiful except for 3D printers it seems.
I also lived in your country (if you are in the UK) for 2 years.
About half way between Sydney and Brisbane? Getting way off topic - I'll PM you.

@Corexy Just PM'd you - no point in cluttering up the forum with personal stuff.
Copy that, I just deleted my post for that reason

Yay! I'm back up.
Thank you to Roland with helping me out behind the scenes, and again I'd like to offer to send you these 2 blown (or just screwed up by my programming skills) boards at my expense so you can have a look at the effects of 2nd world mains power supply and sub tropical lightning storms on your gear. I don't want anything else, this would be on me as you've been a great help.
I will say that I had no trouble setting up my new board. I just run the configurator and uploaded the whole ZIP file, then copy/pasted my old config.g etc in there. Didn't even need to set the Z offset again.
It's all plugged into a full isolation UPS now, with brand new batteries and will never be plugged into an unprotected supply again.
I'm open to the possibility that I've done something wrong with the old boards, but given the properties history for blown up electronics I doubt it.
I do not think it has anything to do with the Duetwifi product itself, for the record.

@Corexy Glad you are sorted. Fingers crossed that's the end of your probs.

You've seen my track record...you should be more careful with your fingers lol
Straight back into it though. I've got a Micro Swiss all metal kit for this model (Zortrax M200) and a very high temp build plate with Printbite on it. My plan is to get this one running some high temp PC prints, ABS and Nylon in this one. It really works well and I've got a good temp controlled cabinet on it.
In the meantime I bought this little Ender 3 Pro, but I'm kind of enjoying it anyway and it's an intro into V slot printers.

Yes, I know - already mangled the little one .....

I'd be calling that "my backup" for reasons I won't be explaining.

@Corexy It's surprisingly useful sometimes to have a finger that size and shape, but I'll leave that to your imagination......
It kind of matches the lump on the back of my other hand caused by a badly set "boxers fracture" but I won't be explaining how I got that either.........
