Duet 3 demo at TCT

I was testing the Duet 3 second prototypes earlier today.

I do have a Duet 2 - I don't need a Duet 3 - I do have a Duet 2 - I don't need a Duet 3...

Just practicing. I need to get this mandra working until Duet 3 is available.

what are the main cool features, compared to DuetWiFi ? will you uncover a bit?

this link www.duet3d.com/duet3 does not work

@c310 That link works for me.

Manuel, - it's "mantra" not "mandra" (that's a town in Greece). Oh and it's "practising" not "practicing".

Here endeth the English lesson for today

wilriker

@deckingman Yeah, the mandra-mantra thing is the same in German.

But with "practicing" I can - for once - correct you. This is the valid American spelling. And since I usually also write "color" and "honor" I consider this correct.

deckingman

@wilriker I gave you an English lesson, not an American lesson. They drive on the wrong side of the road and use all the wrong words for parts of cars (trunk instead of boot, hood instead of bonnet etc).

DocTrucker

@deckingman; but at least they don't call a damper a shock absorber, which technically is the spring!

Edit: Conversations that are not intended as formal publications (particularly online) being pulled off track into irrelevant discussions in grammer, spelling, or other language technicalities is a pet hate of mine.

By all means raise questions when the use of language has left the message unclear but otherwise it serves little purpose.

deckingman

@doctrucker Fair comment - and apologies. (Although sometimes a little light relief can be welcome).

DocTrucker

@deckingman no worries!

USB webcam support and easy time lapses

+1 for a plug and play camera.

A simple way to plug in a small off the shelf camera (Aliexpress generic modules or DueCam) would be a great addition. Being able to view the stream remotely in the web interface.

It will be a smart tool board, handling at least an extruder motor, heater, temperature sensor, 2 fans and a Z probe.

What about support material? Add either an additional servo header or a stepper heater and temp sensor, maybe up the amperage allowed on the fan headers (or generic pwm headers) for larger builds so that pwm header could allow for small brushed motors to be controlled by that same circuit board? I have some ideas lingering that might expand the machine capabilities of the duet3.

Apart from lots of assurances that it will cost more than the current range of boards, has there been any ball park figures mentioned?

This looks like a potentially good upgrade path for my CNC rotuer that is currently running LinuxCNC with a Gecko G540.

But the one thing I cant seem to find an answer to is whether or not a Trinamic based board will be able to abort a job using stall detection for every move, but still use regular hard and soft limit switches for homing and travel limits. Its my understanding that homing using stall detection is less precise, so its desirable to keep the inductive limit switches for homing and use stall detection to try and minimize damage if screwing up the CAM and crashing the tool.

Can someone take my money for this yet? I void every warranty I touch when it comes to my own stuff, I am COMPLETELY okay with highly experimental, hell practically describes my life XD

I don't see anything on anyone's github so I can't even pay a pcb manufacturer to make one for me on my own.

When will you take my money? alt text

@noskillzengineer Get in the queue ...........

@deckingman and that queue is growing already lol

When the Duet 3 arrives I'm more than willing to help people dispose of their used Duet Ethernets!

Hi everybody i a building a large 3d printer but now don t know whether to wait for the duet 3 ethernet or buy the duet 2 ethernet
according to the specs pf the duet 3 seems to have some good improvements over the duet 2
what do you think guys ?

Carlos, how long are you willing to wait?

carlos5

well i think can wait until it s released provided it s released this year as the printer is going to be quite large around 1 meter long all sides
looking at the duet 3 specs seems to be good for large projects
but of course that s on paper because we really don t know how is going to perform against the long tested duet 2 once buyers start having their hands on them
so maybe you guys with more experience with the duet boards can tell if the improvement of the duet 3 over the duet 2 is worth the wait
thanks for your comments i appreciate it
