@rjenkinsgb Thank you for helping me lay some ground work for all this! I'll keep an eye out for resources.

RE: Suggestions for wiring to be used inside heated enclosure.
@rjenkinsgb Well, feeding a meter or so of cable through Electrical conduit would certainly be easier than using regular cable loom like I have in the past and it has a slightly better bend radius that the ChainFlex. So, if I'm understanding you correctly; Motor cables, signal cables, and heater cables all need to be channeled through their own conduit to obtain maximum avoidance of interference. Do the fans need to as well? Does the conduit then need to be grounded to a drain? Sorry for so many questions, but EMI suppression is a new avenue for me and I'm quite fixated on it at the moment. Are you aware of any good resources I can look to for more information? Thank you!
Also, I just ran across this: https://hollandshielding.com/Flexible-cable-shield
Is this a viable option as well?

RE: Suggestions for wiring to be used inside heated enclosure.
@rjenkinsgb Thank you for the response, this will help my narrow down my search criteria for sure. I was primarily interested in the ChainFlex due to its shielding. However should I only be concerned with shielding cables that transmit data like thermistor and probe cables and just settle for twisting pairs for the steppers? I should have also mentioned that EMI management is also a priority for me as well.

Suggestions for wiring to be used inside heated enclosure.
I've been slowly working on making my printers' enclosure more capable of reaching higher temperatures. My long term goal is to reach ~90C. Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of wiring I can get that is rated to work at that kind of temperature. I've been looking at this https://www.igus.com/product/14633?artNr=CF29-15-15-02-01-D and similar products from IGUS. I'm just reluctant to settle at 100C rating due to the temperature rise in the wiring once I start printing. Do I also need to be concerned about skewed temperature readings from my heater thermistor due to the change in resistance in my thermistor wiring? Thanks in advance!

RE: NEW Duet3D documentation site - now official!
Thank you for all your time and effort, it's great to have a company that values the time of its users! I'm looking forward to using custom tabs to my hearts' content.

RE: Maxwell vs Kelvin Kinematic coupling
I like the PTFE tubing as it would reduce the friction on the contact surfaces quite a bit. Thank you!

RE: Maxwell vs Kelvin Kinematic coupling
Thank you for your replies, I've spend a good amount of time on both of your blog sites reading through all the information so I appreciate the input very much. I'll likely stick with the Maxwell implementation since it seems to handle expansion of the bed all the same and I'm confident that I'll be able to position the groves correctly.

Maxwell vs Kelvin Kinematic coupling
I've been looking into a kinematic bed mount for my printer bed and I've notice that there seems to be two prevalent conventions when it comes to doing so (Maxwell and Kelvin). Does anyone have any insight as to which might be better, the pros and cons of each, or which you've implemented? Thanks in advance!

Best coding language to practice.
Hi all, I'd like to get into making my own scripts and such, as well as eventually being able to contribute to Open source programs like Super Slic3r (Long term goal). What's the best language to learn for all of this? I have experience with C and C++, so coding isn't completely foreign to me.
Thanks!

Accelerometer as a Z Probe
I noticed on the Dozuki page regarding accelerometers, it was mentioned that using one for a z probe is not currently supported. Is there any support planned for this in the future? Also, would anyone be willing to briefly describe how that would work?
