Duex5 Availability

Hi All,

Is there any indication of when the Duex5 will be GA or is there any chance still of getting one of the test boards?

I have quad extruder system with 3 x Z steppers, heated bed etc and am currently running a Duet WiFi with 2 extruders and external drivers for the Z Axis but would love to fire up all 4 extruders and move the Z steppers over to on-board TMC2660 drivers as they seem to be working a charm on the other steppers I am currently driving.

Cheers,

Ben

Heard from the guys today that the target is the week before Christmas.

Great news, that isn't too far away, sure I can operate in limp mode until then - anyone know if there will be the ability to pre-order to speed up the process?

I (Filastruder) am working on that. The guys are still finalizing pricing which is a prerequisite to a preorder.
