    Hello Hive Mind.

    I plan on building an enclosure for my CNC machine controls (Duet, VFD, relays, and PSU) and was curious what the power requirements for the Duet are while running? Currently, I'm using a 24v/15a 3D printer PSU to run my Duet and in the interest of saving space, I'd like to go with a slimmer DIN-rail mounted PSU that can handle the load.

    On an alternate note, does anyone think that a plastic enclosure with hinder my WiFi signal badly or should I get a booster or swap to an ethernet Duet?

        should be fine, a good way to test is to pop the enclosure (without the duet!) in a microwave, if it gets hot then it'll likely attenuate the wifi signal.

          Yeah, I found that page after I asked the question lol. Thanks though! Turns out I could size down but the cost for a good DINrail PSU is so cost prohibitive, I'll just stick with what I have now.

          I can't tell if this is a joke or serious. This sounds like the "Charge your phone with a microwave" prank. Now I have to google if a microwave blocks WiFi signal lol.

            microwaves happen to use roughly the same frequency as 2.4ghz wifi, so its not a joke; pretty much all plastics should be fine - some may contain more water than other and that makes them less ideal (and it would be the water or other additives in the plastic that get heated by the microwave)

              Instructions unclear. DuetWifi currently sparking in microwave. Please advise.
