Announcement: Duet 3 Toolboard revision v1.1

vistalert

Wow I can't believe how off topic things have gotten, and how much energy is being consumed. It looks like there is a 1.0 -> 1.1 so minor revision.

I can confidently say as a customer (not someone who is thinking of buying) that I expect revisions and major upgrades to be released. As long as the product I bought meets my requirements, I've not been disadvantaged, underserviced or left behind in anyway. I got what I needed, and paid for, even if a new one comes out tomorrow.

The Duet team is incredibly honourable, and many have given 100s to 1000s of hours of their time supporting this community.

I love that Voron design posted previously which really integrates the tool board into the carriage assembly. Nice work.

Can't wait for v1.1 to arrive in Australia. Everything should land here first, as we're upside down, underneath most of you, so a few boards should fall down here quickly I think

I have updated the documentation with an point for those designing mounts for the board. This is a diode on the back of the board that projects about 1.5mm from the back. this is less than the back of the through hole components but might interfere with a mounting solution if that is not taken into account.

The STEP file linked has also been updated to include this.

Hey Guys,
Hope you are doing well.
Any chances that I can get the schematic and PCB of the new Version?
Thank you in advance.

So I need a Toolboard to finish a current build now. Which reseller in EU is supposed to receive 1.1 stock shortly?

@kipk
I have reserved one at
https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/

They expect it to be in stock next week.

@fotomas thanks for the tip

@pixelpieper looks great , but what about the orientation of the accelerometer?

@lbi we looked at that but, as you can see, there is not a lot of space left!

Every board has two sides.

T3P3Tony

@zapta true. in this case we need to keep the board manufacturable at a reasonable cost and also thin enough to fit on a hermera tool on a toolchanger

pixelpieper

@martin7404 its a 3d-accelerometer, you can adjust the orientation in software.

@t3p3tony, that's correct, good engineering is about striking the right balance.

BTW, I appreciate the density of your designs. I presume this one is also with Kicad. I played with much simpler design and know how much effort it takes.

A small wish (and with please ) :

In the next iteration, maybe already the next board-run(?), please consider reviewing if you can add in also the through-hole-solderpads for the stepper-motor-out
(guess I am one of the few that are no "crimp-ist", push-in would be favourite, otherwise will stick to screw-in-terminals )

Best regards

Push in is very nice, but expensive compared to crimp connectors, and quite large - I haven't seen any with less than 2.5mm pitch and they tend to be quite high.

Thanks so much for answering! Yep most I found in some webshops were too expensive/big/... for now, but I just wanna try something other then crimping, maybe I stick with solder-in-screwin-terminals in the end... Guess I am on some sort of a quest there if you provide me the 4 additional motor-throughhole-solderpads, I will see what I get and will post it in the forum I guess my talent for crimping is just not really there

dc42

@lbi do you have a proper crimp tool?

I hate crimping, but once done it makes disconnecting and reconnecting wires much quicker than using screw terminals.

fotomas

Are there any parts for crimping bundled with the toolboard (like duetboard)?

T3P3Tony

@fotomas yes there is a connector pack with the board

martin7404

@fotomas I did received mine from dold
And it working great.
For now I tested only accelerometer as far I am building new large 3d printer. It took 15 minutes to crimp wiring, solder the 120 ohm bridge and run.

At least I am not alone in the universe with that issue yeah of course you have a point, I know I can force myself to do it, just the outcome is appropriate to my feeling while doing it, I can borrow a tool at work, but some of them work even better when "crimped" by hand with a tiny plier... Ah for now I crimp, it is alright. Just would be great in the future to have the possiblity maybe to even order them with no connnectors soldered and buy either a screw-in or a crimp-connector kit and just solder it there, and for that the 4 through-hole-pads for the motor are missing. I know this would be / is for advanced users... but my solder-skills are actually not as bad as my crimp-skills are. Didn´t want to bother all of you. It is allright. Keep up your work!

@T3P3Tony
Is there a rough estimate when the product will be available again in germany ?
