    I can only speak for myself, but:

    • The UKP 13,39 shipping cost: stiff, but I knew that in advance and accepted that. E3D explicitely stated that they would do Fedex only.
    • The VAT: did not pay that in the UK, so NL VAT is it. Expected costs. When buying locally you would have to pay that also.

    What is left is the cost Fedex charged, 15-20 euros. I do have an opinion on that; they knew they were shipping from UK to NL non-company before they picked up the package, and it is quite a chunk of money for some computerized paperwork. But I also knew that was coming.

    Worth it? I needed a board to drive a motor. I could have bought another random board and a Duet3 later, but that would have been just as expensive or worse.

    We shall see what the pricing is going to be when the boards are available locally. I don't think the difference is going to be that bad.

      @DaBit you may be right. I wonder (and confess total ignorance on VAT) if the Euro VAT can be paid at source (when you order) if we could get rid of the shipper surcharges... that would be ideal

          I think this is the intention of the new EU rules that is due to take effect July 1st, google "Import One Stop Shop VAT" for details.

          However its not all happy times; goods over €150 or from sellers who didn't implement IOSS will still need to be processed at the border, including those low value packages that are exempt today. Processing at the border means the couriers are free to keep charging whatever they like, possibly more than before to compensate for lower volume. For shipments that fall under IOSS there is no reason for any processing or charges.

          I'm mostly pleased with how it turned out in Norway, JLCPCB said they'd make all the changes for July 1st instead of the Norway rules first and then the EU rules in July. My favourite independent chinese site said they would migrate to eBay or AliExpress instead of complying with the new rules

            Values quoted on data sheets are under ideal conditions, with large heatsinking areas that are impractical in most real-world applications.

            2A steppers will be fine.

              Got a Mini 5+ and am laying out an enclosure design in CAD 😃

              I can't seem to open the STEP model files located on the Hardware Overview page here:
              https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_Mini_5plus_Hardware_overview

              Both files fail to unzip on multiple different computers.

                I just download the WiFi version, unzipped and opened the STEP file in my CAD program without any problems.

                Have you tried to download them again?

                  Re-deownloading didn't seem to do anything.

                  I just installed 7-Zip and that appears to have worked.

                  Windows 10 Explorer and WinRAR would throw an error when trying to extract them.

                    Ah...

                    I have used WInZip forever - never even thought to try Windows - not really surprised it didn't work.

                      be aware that this means running the driver at 1.5A. They will need cooling at that current.

                        I saw there is a production run of these currently going through, does anyone have any insight into when these will land at retailers?

                          Just ordered my Duet 3 Mini 5+ from e3d online. I'm looking for somewhere in UK that has the mini 2+ expansion. E3d don't list it and their support tell me they don't stock it.

                            @Serbitar as far as I'm aware, the expansion board hasn't been released yet

                            Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

                              We have started to get stock out to our resellers of the mini 2+ expansion board. I don't have an exact date of when they will be able to list them yet.

                                      @dc42 @T3P3Tony Hi guys, i finally received the Mini 2+ extension (took it from Dold), it was delivered to me this morning.

                                      I have to report back however that the Mini 2+ package DOES NOT include the two plastic standoffs that are needed to mechanically mount the card on top of the Mini 5+...

                                      505acb75-13d5-412e-abb1-47c429f64571-image.png

                                        as a workaround you can use a 12mm m2 screw and nuts.
