My D-Bot has been great! I probably spent $650 on the initial build, and have added a Duet WiFi since then, and have a Titan Aero waiting for install. I wish I had a kit with all of the parts in one place when I built mine... Using a miter saw on the extrusions was pretty easy but dangerous with all of that aluminum flying around.
reddit.com/r/reprapPIF/ can be used for a the actual parts printing.
It should be a great fit for the OP.
I would just like to add to this. I have just commissioned my printer with the Duet WiFi. Same issue. Same fix by editing the homeall.g file.
This is working:
G91 ; relative mode
G1 Z4 F200 ; raise head 4mm
G1 X-300 F3000 S1 ; move up to 240mm in the -X direction, stopping if the homing switch is triggered
G1 X4 F600 ; move slowly 4mm in the +X direction
G1 X-10 S1 ; move slowly 10mm in the -X direction, stopping at the homing switch
G1 Y200 F3000 S1 ; move up to 240mm in the +Y direction, stopping if the homing switch is triggered
G1 Y-4 F600 ; move slowly 4mm in the -Y direction
G1 Y10 S1 ; move slowly 10mm in the +Y direction, stopping at the homing switch
G1 Z5 F6000 ; Raise Head 5mm
G1 Z-325 F1800 S1 ; Move Z down until the switch triggers
G90 ; Back to absolute positioning
G92 Z2.5 ; Tell the firmware where we are

Hi Tinroof - What was the issue? I am researching s similar problem and would like to learn how you solved it.
Thank you Sir! I will bookmark this link. And hopefully found some wire locally.
Yes, it is the 12v model.
Hi All - First time caller, long time reader…
I have a D-Bot, and the E3D V6 heater wire was never long enough. I soldered on some 14ga wire, and RAMPS did not have an issue with the wire. But the Duet WiFi seems to need smaller gauge wire. What wire size works with the E0 connector block? And will I be good to extend the E3D V6 the 1.5 feet / 45 centimeters with it?
Thanks!
