Creatbot D600 Pro
-
Hi guys,
Thought I'd share a recent highly successful duet wifi conversion on the latest printer for our shop. It's a Creatbot D600 Pro with excellent hardware but terrible 8-bit electronics based on a Frankenstein closed source Marlin flavor. They will not share the source code and refuse to enable things like thermal runaway and print quality wasn't up to par among other things.
The duet has really made it feel like a premium industrial grade machine and quality/reliability is superb.
I designed a drop in base mount for the thingiverse paneldue mount to directly attach to which works nicely.

Thanks for sharing!

-
Very nice quality. Care to share the settings that was printed at?
-
Yes, the settings are:
3DXTech ASA
0.2mm layer height
260C nozzle temp
80C bed
50C chamber

8 bit in that behemoth? Blasphemy!
Looks great!
-
How much does that thing weigh? Looks about the size of a very large photocopier, and I know those can get incredibly heavy.
-
My Qidi Xone-2 weighs about 35lbs, and it's got a print area of 140x140x140!
I would guess 80lbs or more.
-
@phaedrux About 350lbs
-
Oh yeah, It's bigger than I thought!
The steppers in there look teeny tiny!
-
@wyvern They are actually Nema 23 but fairly short. We've replaced the Y stepper with a longer Nema 23 which is doing a better job now.
-
Holy crap 9K? Such a shame they used a inferior board for a commercial grade machine that weighs 275lbs.
I really like the belt mechanisms in that thing,
Basic cuboid Cartesians are nice because they are very simple and accurate, especially when you have a huge steel box to mount the axes to.

Hello darkstarone, can you post the settings of Simplify once?
I have taken over the settings of Creatware. But I do not come to a good result. -
Hi Darkstone,
Do you have any advice or tips on installing the duet3d board into the Creatbot D600 Pro?
We are looking to do this as well but don't really know where to start. -
@Gawein While not specific to the Creatbot, it's not a bad idea to start with gathering as many details about the existing machine as possible.
-
I currently have the same question as @Gawein.... it would be great if you could share the config.g with us.
@Phaedrux this seems like an excellent place to start. I also noticed the D600 Pro has a heated build chamber. And the Duet only has one heater output. Probably it will need the Duex as well. Or an external temp controller.

@mebrein said in Creatbot D600 Pro:
And the Duet only has one heater output.
The Duet wifi has a high current bed heater and 2 extruder heaters. To control a chamber heater you would likely want to use an SSR which could be controlled from either a heater pin, or unused fan or PWM capable pin.

@Phaedrux That sounds good. I guess it's a matter of taking small steps and triple-checking everything before the mains power is switched on. Hopefully it won't become some kind of bbq or frying party over here... I'm not an electronics engineer....

We bought the D600 Pro too and we are very disappointed. To make a long story short I just ordered the Duet2 WiFi and the 7” PanelDue. It would be great if you could share more details of your conversion. Do we have to order more components from Duet or is the printer Hardware easy to connect to the board? Any details would be appreciated.
