My motors are still whatever came on my wanhao duplicator i3+. Probably should have got new ones.

It sounds like my best bet is just to try it and see how it goes. Thanks folks!

Just wanted to come back here to post the results and close the loop. Overall, I was able to tune things and get things looking good. Here are the after pics https://imgur.com/gallery/Ogqr8lM

I did switch the order of the walls.
I printed the pressure advance test here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/6698/pressure-advance-calibration/18 and adjusted accordingly. This made a nice improvement.
I lowered my print temp to 230. Might play around a little with this just to see.
I turned off combing. I did this more so because retraction on this extruder is tiny.
I also lowered my flow to 98%, lowered the speed of the walls to 60%, and turned on my cooling fan 30% after layer 3. For bridging I jumped the fan to 100%.

I've still got some slight ringing, but I'm going to tighten the belts a little and see how that plays out. They seem like maybe they are just a touch loose.

Just want to say thanks to @jens55 and @Phaedrux . Your tips definitely helped.

Correct. M206 predates workspace coordinate systems (g54, g55, ...). It is not used (by any sane persons) anymore. It hasn't been removed so as not to break really old G-Code.

For one thing, it is EXACTLY equivalent to G10 L20 P2 (except the coordinate offsets are interpreted the "other way", formally as if monotonically negated). So just use that...

Workspace Coordinate Systems (WCS) are very rarely used on 3D printers. They are quite common on CNC, but even there most people don't really understand how they work. Even some fairly experienced CNC operators.

For now, summarize:

M206 is legacy. Avoid. WCSs are an intermediate to advanced topic on CNC, and very very rare on 3D Print. Avoid until you have a really compelling reason to dive into them.

Also, re-summary to the very original Q: X0 Y0 for Tool 0 via the axis definitions (and nothing else); each other tool (if any) is offset to that.

The filament system, as all other systems for Duet, are just g code files that are run at the appropriate times. The individual files are created with the 'new filament' button and then the individual actions are created with the 'new file' button. I had no problem creating a 'InlandBluePETG' filament directory in RRF 1.03.
Maybe show the steps you took ?
No, you are not missing anything but, and I haven't tried that, it might be worthwhile to create a macro file that runs all the identical bits of your filament files and call that macro from the filament file and then have entries for the unique bits.
There is nothing preventing you from implementing the Wahoe behaviour in a macro file.

Typically, reports of just one phase being disconnected (always the same one) indicates a bad connection. Whereas if it reports both phases may be disconnected, it's usually something else.

Thanks for the link and explanation. That's a really cool feature, but I'm not sure if It's something I want to implement yet. My end goal here is to get things back to working well, then to tear it apart again and convert it to the ReDuplicator.

@rschlachter said in Upgrading my Duplicator i3+ and have a few questions.:

I'm assuming I'm best off wiring the buck in between the Noctua fan and the board, correct?

Yes you can do that. Use the buck converter to provide the +12v and leave the negative wire of the connected straight through to the fan port so it can be controlled via PWM.

I wired them to the outside pins in the 3 pin connector. That's correct right?

Yes. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Microswitch
