This has not been tuned and I only have it working on Slic3R , have not tried the native files that come with the firm ware.
Also they have an IR probe for it that is inexpensive might want to research that because its very accurate.

ok got it to work with Slic3R Thank you every one

here you go https://s21.postimg.org/ywcgd5v93/gantry.jpg

@iDevelo:

@shojidoug:

Thank you for answering
I have entered the dimensions in the slicers.
thank you for the advice and the config you will post. If i have to i will move my end stops x would be no problem. but i would have to tear down the gantry and hot end to reverse.
the 713maker gantry upgrade kit i have installed was not engineered to be flipped so if i can avoid it i will.

Ahh it's not stock then?

Where does your hotend home to? You have a picture?

looking from the front to the rear Y right x rear z of course up
please forgive the mess, I haven't reached the tidy up point and if i could figure out hoe to post a pic i would.

its not the board but 3 d geometry in general. the point where xyz all meet is numbered 0 0 0 so your location start point could be
X POSITION = X-0 ,Y POSITION = Y-0 ,Z POSITION = Z-0
I am assuming. after much reading and no direct answer from any source that 0 is low and thus if i have my end stop at a 0 position it is a low end switch, even though my bed is all the way up, its starting point is Z-0

Well if you have owned and configured 3d printers before im sure its easy.
As far as the physical board and its mechanical set up its an elegant, robust piece of hardware and and tolerates a lot of errors in hooking up with out burning out the drivers or main chips +1 for that!
The web interface is very nice to work with.
That being said.
the only drawback, and I haven't run into this problem yet, on the physical build is a surface mount fuse labeled F1.
I'm sure there are good reasons why they made this design decision but if by chance you blow it you only have two options.
1 remove and re-solder a new surface mount component which I put on the same difficulty level as trying to circumcise a mouse.
2 solder in a new fuse holder same difficulty level but with the added bonus of a changeably fuse (I'm sure the mouse would love it)
on to the set up
having never seen G-code owned a 3d printer but 7 years as a mechanic and quite a few window box pc builds under my belt i have found the set up to be supremely frustrating. I certainly cant blame the duet wifi for the majority of my issues as people have set this board up with no issues on many different machines but a lot of assumptions are made in the 3d printer community
for instance when you go to set your end stops you have a choice between high end and low end. low and behold there not talking about the physical dimensions but where the end stops are located in RELATIONSHIP TO THE START AND STOP POINTS OF THE AXIS.
I can see the eye rolling and head shaking as the experienced people read this but if you have little or no background in geometry or computer science it can hang you up a bit, try googling "difference between a high end and low end switch on a 3d printer". So I would suggest if you've never done this before get a friend who has.

You have to slice your stl and send it to the printer via the web interface. I know it makes no difference how the file gets to the printer but it would be nice if i could send directly from the slicer via the web interface to the printer.

I have been struggling with the configuration for about a week now, couple of hours a day.
its alright though because I could have come here anytime I wanted and asked a question and if im lucky the man who designed the board would have given me an answer.

Despite the frustration im having a ball, I will get it in the end

If you want a quality product that will serve you well for years and can outperform most any other board I do suggest this one
OH you don't need the panel due I have it hooked up and haven't used it once for configuration Im sure I will use it once im printing regularly.

what are the methods for getting the printer to START printing in the center of the bed instead of the corner. Native g code provided with firm ware, Slic3r, and Cura all start in the same wrong place. I have included my config file for your entertainment in case that is the problem. :)- yes its a FT-5

Thank you sir!

Hi Frank, I am also putting together an FT-5 also with a duet wifi. Could you please share you completed config file? There are some differences in our setups but the majority of it would put me days ahead in the learning curve.
Thanks very much
