Canned ERCF board v1.0-beta2

jay_s_uk

I have 4 of the Canned ERCF boards available.
They come with all the connectors required. All that's required is for you to purchased a SammyC21 and to provide 2 x 2209 drivers.

I have also compiled the firmware for 3.4.2-RC2. It's available here https://github.com/jaysuk/Duet3Expansion/releases

They are £18 + postage.
I can also supply 2 x Fly 2209 drivers for a further £10

joeko

@joeko Where are you located?

@Th0mpy germany

@joeko I have a couple that I had made, but in the US. It would be much less expensive to just order it assembled from PCBWay or similar outfit.

Th0mpy

@joeko That said, let me see if I can publish it on PCBWay and you could just order it assembled from them.

joeko

@Th0mpy ok. but is it also possible to use an Expansion board with can conneted ?

Th0mpy

@joeko I don't see why not. The ERCF board is really just a purpose-built toolboard. The benefit to the expansion board is that it's tried and true hardware, less chance of major issues The big obvious difference is the form factor.

joeko

@Th0mpy yes and the price
but until now i am only think about. does this mmu system works without big problems ?

@joeko define "big problems" -- I know a bunch of people that use ERCF successfully. Requires some extra considerations, but that's to expected if you add multiple different rolls of filament and additional steppers....

Th0mpy

@joeko It CAN work well, but you need to be ready for some failures and tweaking. There are so many things that are out of the control of the device itself so you need to be prepared for that. It's not for the faint of heart.

joeko

i have ordered one and will use it with an expansion board.
i will see

I've spent some time dreaming of multi-colour FDM printing. But the filament colours available are good for toys, but not much else.
And colour mixing doesn't work as expected.
I discovered resin printers recently. They produce a whole army of spectacular fine detailed figurines in no time and handpainting them comes closer to my expectations.

Th0mpy

@o_lampe I tend to agree, however, I do like to add inlayed pieces to my parts. Most of what I do is more functional parts versus toys, so I like to add indicators, logos, etc.

The biggest reason for me is to use soluble supports. Understood that resin printers do supports better, but I really couldn't get over the cleanup and smell. I may try it again when I can move the operation to my new shop.
