        @mundsen The RPi has an SD card that you may occasionally need to access. The main board also has things like diagnostic LEDs and it helps if you can see these. There is also a reset switch which you may have to resort to pressing if things go horribly wrong. Personally, I prefer to have good acccess to these things even though it is on very rare occasions that you need too.

        Size wise - don't worry about it. My CoreXYUVAB is mostly 600mm wide and deep but the upper (UVA and B) gantries are wider and deeper and it's about 1.7 metres tall.

          @deckingman Thank you - Seems like the best option is a "box" on the side for simple access
          But I`ll install the PSU in the lower part.

            I plan to combine the Duet 3 with a Raspberry PI 4 2GB
            Most of the time I will manage the printer from my Windows computer connected using Ethernet.

            • a iPad or android tablet as an panel due alternative.

            Or is it best to connect a HDMI touch lcd to the PI?

            Trying to find what is the best combination while waiting for the Duet 3 to arrive 🙂

              @mundsen I plan to use an HDMI connected touch screen. you could also use a screen connected to the Raspi display connector but HDMI is easier to work with for me.

                @t3p3tony Do you have an URL for the display you plan to use?

                Recommended resolution/inches?

                I quess this is more responsive/stable compared to iPad/Android Tablet (WiFi) ?

                  @mundsen I just picked something up off amazon - it hink it was the recommended 7 inch HDMI display. We are also looking at sourcing "official" ones from the same supplier as the PanelDue screens but thats not confirmed and will be a while.

                    Something like this? or 1080p on 5 inch a bit small?

                      @mundsen i went with a 7 inch one and cheaper but basically the same. as its attaching to the Pi I would check that it works with that.

                        @dc42 thank you, tho I'm not really interested in getting a full duet 2, that's why I was asking about the Maestro. I can certainly live without the feature, I just thought it would be handy if it can be used with the older cheaper board.

                          Looks like was about a month too late on this. Looked last night and already out of stock.
                          Any ideas on timeline for the full release?
                          I'm working on my own printer design, but I'm not nearly ready for electronics yet, so I may wait to get a duet 3 instead of a duet 2 + Duex5 if it won't be too long.

                            @superwhisk Duet 2 will still be the mainstream product. Do you need to run more than 12 motors or motors that use > 2.8 amps?

                              @deckingman No, I don't need to run 12 motors, from that standpoint the Duet 2 + Duex 5 would be fine. However, I like the idea of running the interface on a raspberry Pi. I'm a software developer, but don't have much experience with embedded programming. Being able to run the interface on a full Linux system means I can more easily create my own or modify the existing one. It also means that whatever functionality I add won't affect the critical real-time functions of the firmware running the printer.

                                @superwhisk Fair comments. I do foresee that that we may see some useful and perhaps amazing applications being developed for the SBC by people such as yourself.

                                  You're talking to an audience that has either scratch built 3D printers, or torn down and re-assembled existing printers that worked perfectly fine. We download and use "beta" software daily. We push our printers to go faster with better detail, etc. Using an off the shelf printer as-is simply isn't an option for us.

                                  What does "mainstream" mean?

                                    What it means is that Duet 3 has high-end technology such as 6 high power stepper drivers, 240MHz ARM Cortex M7 processor and CAN expansion. This makes the Duet 3 expensive and it is gross overkill for typical 3D printers, also the RPi is a more expensive (but more flexible) option than the on-board networking of Duet 2. So it's going to be hard to justify using Duet 3 in low-cost printers.

                                    Going forwards, we will probably offer a Duet 2 variant that supports the RPi instead of built-in networking. In its simplest form, this would be a Duet Ethernet without the Ethernet daughter board.

                                      The more you talk about it, the more I want one (regardless of need.) I think my only hesitation right now (beyond being broke) is the uncertainty of a hard-wired display/control panel (such as the paneldue.) The current DWC doesn't work for me as an attached hard-wired interface.

                                      I do wonder if the newer board would be able to run a simple 3 axis delta with 64 microstepping, interpolation, and without having hiccups all the time. Needed? No. Wanted? Absolutely!

                                        All existing Duets can do that when you print from SD card, except that the Duet WiFi/Ethernet can only do interpolation with the microstepping set to x16.

                                          I take that you haven't seen my blog or YouTube channel that are linked in my description then? If you had, you would know that I currently have a scratch built 1.7 metre tall, 7 axis COREXYUVAB with dynamic load balancing gantry and 6 extruders.

                                          Having been one of the first adopters of Duet WiFi, then Duet Ethernet, then Duex 5 expansion boards, and now Duet 3 and also having used all versions of Duet from the very first 06 , as well as being one of the first members of this forum, I am fully aware of the audience and what "we" do.

                                            I assume from your wording that this support will require a hardware change on the Duet 2? So if I buy one now it will not be able to take advantage of this later?
