@T3P3Tony Will there be any additional connectors (beyond the 2 additional 2209 drivers) on the 2+ expansion card ?

No, just the two motor connectors.

I'm hoping to post a draft version of the updated Ender 3 Pro Duet 3 Mini 5+ wiring guide tonight. Updated config and tuning guides to follow in coming days.

And here it is: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/20633/ender-3-pro-and-duet-3-mini-5-guide

A friend of mine who yet has not done much with electronics and coding happens to have one of these "ender" and I just told him how much possibilities he would have with some new mainboard like duet3d -> Hope you finish the guide, because I would really like him to benefit from something more capable, but I do not think alone currently he would manage to upgrade

Too bad e3d will only use fedex for overseas orders, expensive import fees compared to royal mail.

Anyways, am I right in seeing that if you use PanelDue with the Mini5+ you don't have enough inputs to use the 2 stepper expansion if you want to have endtops/filament sensors for all steppers + z probe? As such Pi + hdmi screen or 12864 might be better options.

Or can the 12864 interface be repurposed for general purpose io? (https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_Pin_names_for_Duet_Num_3 isn't updated with the Mini5+ yet)

Repurposing the 12864 pins is not currently supported AFAIK. If you need all 7 IO inputs then the display options are a 12864 or a PI+ display.

Correct, not supported at present.

Royal Mail is really struggling right now, 6+ weeks in some cases. Makes for upset customers.

@elmoret could be worse. Could be PostNL.

ukwebb

would the Duet 2 Maestro Dual Stepper Driver Expansion Module board work on the duet3mini5+? or will it be a specific board for the duet3mini?

Phaedrux

@ukwebb It will be a specific board. Coming soon.

I think I like the not currently and not supported at present undertones. And oh dear, I keep forgetting we're relatively okay with pandemic if we ignore some social restrictions that most nerds wouldn't have noticed anyway if it weren't for the masks.. Oh well, no rush - stay safe out there!

Thanks for the hint! It seems I managed to order one.

Have to paid 43€ for tax to France a bit expensive

Yikes!
Well, we shall see. Someone has to pay all the years of negotiation.

At least I should have a board to test the X-axis of my in-development hightemp 3D printer soon. Buying something else temporarily costs money too.

Hopefully the new eu tax rules will help as of 01.07.2021, but i don't think it's a priority for e3d to adapt to OSS when they have local resellers despite availability being an issue. We got similar rules as of 01.04.2020 and most imports in the 0-300€ range became cheaper, not to mention easier and faster.

That's crazy! is that the Brexit changes kicking in? My understanding was that (other than VAT) there should be no tariffs/duty on goods. VAT should work itself out as UK VAT is the same/similar to other UK countries (~20%).
