Setting Up a New Extruder System
-
Hello, I would like to ask for some help with the installation of new extruder system running on a Duet 2 mainboard. I run two large format industrial machines, the OEM doesn't support the cold end set-up we have anymore, the hot ends are running Super Volcanos. The extruder has, what they refer to as transmission, or gear drive set that only last about a year, It uses a 17HS15-1684S stepper. An updated extruder assembly from them is just stupid expensive!
I purchased a couple of Bondtech's QRs, the stepper 17HS3001-C5X specs are very similar to what I'm using now with the exception the coil connections. My existing stepper uses pins A 1-2 and B 3-4, while the Bondtech stepper pins uses A 1-3 B 2-4, would it be as simple as changing the connections to use this use extruder stepper or is it going to be a major change to the firmware?? -
Am I to understand that you are just changing the stepper motor?

Be sure to identify the phase pairs as described in that link. Don't concern yourself with the color of the wires or the numbers and letters used as that can vary too much. Just identify the phase pairs. Connecting the pairs side by side (not crossed) is all you really have to worry about. The direction of rotation can be set in software.
