I think your best bet is to set up the Duet as an access point, but to have the means (i.e. a PanelDue or laptop/USB) to either reconfigure the Duet AP to a different WiFi channel, or if that fails to command it directly to run prints from the SD card.

The gauge of wire should be appropriate to the current that the bed heater draws (to prevent the cable overheating) and the length of the cable (so that you don't have too much voltage drop in the cable). So it's hard to generalise.

Having said that, 14AWG is rated at approx. 24A single core or 15A 2 or 3 core, and has a resistance of 8.5 milliohms per metre. So it's an appropriate choice for many 3D printers.

Sounds like a 40 watt heater with a sock. That is too much heat/too much insulation, if the Duet's FETs ever failed on, the hotend would reach ~700C, melt the heater block, and likely start a fire. Would recommend a 30w heater if you plan to use a sock.

The PID tune won't prevent a fire as no matter what the gains are, it can't compensate for a hardware failure.

@Dougal1957:

you need to comment out the M665 and M666 lines they are the ones that define it as a delta

thanks.. got the online Reprapconfig tool file uploaded which I'm guessing is better as I set all everything (well to my best guess at least 😉 )
