      like a hemera with a smaller motor?

      Yes. It would also need to be small enough to be mounted just below the effector, or possibly just above it.

        The biggest change we've made is to add CAN bus support

        Excellent decision! This is the budget but expandable board that I think many people will be looking for. I hope you order lots of them!

            We have made some changes to the design (as @dc42 mentioned the CAN expansion plan etc) and the next prototypes are on order. I would not want to commit to a timeline for general availability yet though, still targeting November!

                I have 2 printers begging to be upgraded to a Duet. Would love to test one of these. Count me in for testing please!

                Railcore II 300ZL with lots of upgrades (Duet 3 6HC)
                Heavily modified Ender 3 Pro (Duet 3 6HC)
                Heavily modified Tronxy X5SA-500 Pro with Chimera+ and dual bondtech (Duet 3 6HC)
                CR-10S Pro V2 (Duet 3 Mini 5+)
                and a bunch of SLA printers..

                    Hey, do we have a price range that this is targeting? Will it be similar to the old maestro?

                    Working out whether to hold out for this or if it will end up out of my price range anyway

                      It will be cheaper than the Duet 2 but a bit more expensive than the Maestro. We have not set the final price yet.

                          Our best estimate is that we will manufacture a pre-production batch in November and the first full production batch in January. However, this time scale depends on progress with CE certification tests.

                            Testing of the second generation Duet 3 Mini prototypes is nearly complete. Here's the WiFi version controlling a tool board over CAN.

                              I would like to purchase a mini board for testing purposes, do i contact Roland to be able to purchase a pre production board?

                                @dc42 I noticed that CAN is only using 1 pair and in the past (somewhere) you said testing was in progress to verify the safe wire length while using just 1 pair.
                                Can you provide the results of that testing, assuming it's in the new board and the tests were finished?
                                Could do with one less wire pair on the printers I'm building at the moment (with Duet3)

                                  You only need 1 pair between each pair of boards. The case where you need to use 2 pairs but 1 may be enough is when connecting a tool board to the tool distribution board. One pair connects the tool board to the previous board in the chain, the other pair connects it to the next board, or the termination resistor if it is the last board.

                                    We will only have a limited number of these prototpyes made, once they are all tested and we have a firm number to allocate i will put together a list of testers.

                                        Very enlightening....

                                        When is full production expected, I will contact Roland then.

                                          @CaLviNx as David says, pre-production November (which will be for open sale, but a limited number) with full production after than.
