      @bearer I have no problem buying the full Duet, even if it's a bit more expensive. Better overkill than not enough.

      Then by all means enjoy the Duet 3 6HC now (the mini is still not released)

      The motors are not really powerful, Creality 42-40 for Z and X axis and a bit more powerful one for the Y axis (bed), I believe it's a 42-68 (not at home right now so can't check right now).

      Again, if the cost isn't a factor it doesn't matter, but sounds like the Duet 2 and Duet 3 mini should work just fine.

      .. a nice 7" high pixel density touch screen ..

      you might not want/need high pixel density for touch interface as it can be tricky to hit small features or operate at arms length?

      As for tools, I'm drowning in them

      the JST VH motor outputs for the Duet 3 are different than the duet 2 and requires a larger crimping die than the Molex KK used on the Duet 2 might want to check if your current tool can crimp the 3.91mm VH as well

        Good point, I'll make sure I have everything I need. I have a couple multi-size crimping tools, but I'll have to check.

          Apologies, I have another question.
          Would a Duet 3 Toolboard 1LC be useful for a DirectDrive setup? I am not sure how much weight it would add to the whole setup, but I imagine it wouldn't be much.
          Must admit I enjoy the idea of having just two wires running to the DirectDrive.

            4 wires. 2 data and 2 power wires

              Yes, I meant two pairs, sorry.
              Certainly better than the bundle I have right now 🙂

                Update: after leaving the printer off and unplugged from power for almost 48 hours, I turned it back on and the extruder motor is working again. This reinforces my suspicion, it's the motherboard or breakout board acting up.

                So yeah, I will go ahead and order the Duet 3.

                  it could also be a bad crimp on the cable.

                    The cable is the default one which comes with the motor. I have taken precautions so that the wires won't move in relation to the places they're connected to while the printer is doing its job. Previously I had a different cable, and same issue occurred.
                    While I can't fully rule out this possibility, it's highly unlikely.

                        I'm not sure what you mean, the stock motherboard uses Marlin firmware and I have upgraded it from 1.7.0 (Creality made) to 2.0.5 (TinyMachines 3D).

                          forget it. there was a bug an early firmware version of duet. but this does not apply here.

                            I getting a CR10 max delivered here tomorrow. I'm also planning on a Duet 3 and Tool boards, already received. Yes, overkill but I like the quality of the hardware. Throwing out the control it comes with. I'll let you know how it goes.
