Deut 3D 6HC questions and Stepper motor match
-
@deckingman I am considering that. Alas it will likely mean a UK socket mounted in the electrickery box, don't fancy trying to wire a USB C plug!

@DocTrucker
Modify the wiring going from duet 3 to the pi. Apply the power to the header rather than using the USB-C -
@jay_s_uk fair shout!

@DocTrucker For info, I haven't used the ribbon cable from the Duet to the RPi. Just connected the data pins and a couple of gnds. Then used an external 5V psu to power the RPi etc. Having said - I've now disconnected it and the RPi just sits there unconnected waiting for someone to come up with something useful for it to do.

I'm running the Ribbon D3>Pi. I'm running a 7" touchscreen, and a camera. The camera has been swapped several times (experimenting with tool-to-tool alignment). At the moment it is a Logitech C270. It has been a 'microscope' with its own LED ring illuminators around the lense.
No signs of power stress. Have printed for 5 and 10 hours at a time, toolchanging all the way...

@Danal yes I remember your comment on a very similar thread. I am probably being over cautious and the recommended power supplies are likely over specced.

I suspect things draw a lot less than we think. Manufacturers tend to rate draw as the absolute max.
