Hi all. I just bought my duet this morning, and went looking for connectors....

In the documentation (https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connector_and_spare_part_numbers) it says ...

4 Pin shell - 22-01-2045. I believe that this is now out of date - its certainly hard to find these in the usual place, some suppliers mark it as obsolete. I believe that 22-01-3047 is the replacement. The search was made more difficult because the molex data sheet has a generic image, but the 3d models are as expected.

This would make the 2 pin shell 22-01-3027 etc

I'm not confident enough to change the wiki yet, but have ordered some...

Thanks all, decision made (if it wasn't already).

@dc42 thanks. My printers are in the garage, Wifi very poor, luckily it has CAT6 to my router

@phaedrux Thanks for the response. As i said in the op, i'll probably do it anyway. I hear stuff about better processing performance helping in the corners, but i think thats questionable.

Hi All,
I'm seriously considering moving to Duet. I currently have 3 printers, all came with original (chinese) manufacturers boards, and all have moved to MksBase boards. I run expensive material ($80/kilo for ESD properties) and BL Touch and OctoPi, I'm happy with rebuilding Marlin.

So now, i'm thinking of trying a Duet as it looks like a board for grown-ups and has all the docs that are lacking elsewhere.

Question for you guys is - what difference will i see in actual use if i move to Duet ? The change will undoubtably take some time, learning and effort. I believe i'm limited in speed by the material and extruder.

Will i see better prints ? Will i see a usability improvement ?

I'll probably do it anyway, but would be really interested in the views of people here.

Thanks
