Duet overhaul of Builder Extreme 2000 3D Printer

900turbo

Hi Everyone ,
I am currently updating/overhauling a Builder Extreme 2000. With the following parts a Duet 3 MB 6XD , Raspberry Pi 4 Model B , PanelDue 5i , Duet 3 Toolboard 1LC , Revo Hemera XS , Duet Magnetic filament monitor and a BL Touch. I have removed the old MB and am now starting to wire the drivers to the new MB.
This is my first time ever working on a 3D printer so please be understanding if not everything seems logical!
I feel as if this may be the first Industrial Builder Brand printer to get a Duet overhaul?
Any advice or wisdom would be greatly appreciated
Thank You.

@900turbo, welcome to the forum!

Most of the information you need should be the wiki at https://docs.duet3d.com/. See the wiring diagrams for your Duet components in particular. To get connected to your 6XD board, see https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet.

Feel free to ask here if anything isn't clear, or if you have any questions. We are here to help.

I wish you success with your overhaul project.

@Phaedrux Thank You this was very helpful , currently i cannot locate any datasheet for the motors online , sending M501 did not result in a current configuration either.

@dc42 Thank you so much!
I have successfully got power to the mainboard using the existing PSU , so have updated the firmware and am now making a start on the wiring. For the Duet 3 Toolboard 1LC where would I supply power from the MB am I correct in saying that OUT_0 would be correct. The RJ11 side of it makes sense to me.
Thank you.

@900turbo power the toolboard directly from the PSU rather than out0 as that connection is typically used for beds.

@900turbo as @jay_s_uk says, power it directly from the PSU. It can run on a different PSU from the one powering the 6HC, and at a different voltage if necessary. If you do this, there should be a common ground for both PSUs.

Don’t use OUT0; on the 6HC it is turned off by default at startup, and you need the toolboard to be powered at startup to make contact with the mainboard.

@900turbo Interested if you completed this? We have a Extreme 2000 Pro and a Duet conversion would be something I'm considering. I'd like to replace the extruder and add some modern quality of life functions. Thanks.
