      The motors look ok, apart from the inductance being slightly on the high side. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Choosing_and_connecting_stepper_motors#Section_Inductance
      You could use the EMF calculator at https://www.reprapfirmware.org/ for an overview on max speed etc.

      That calculator and article are great, I know an electrical engineer so I'll get them to go over it with me rather than pester everyone on here even more.

      And if you go with the Ooznest DWC version there will be nothing to edit to get the work offset buttons. DWC is open source though and can be found at https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl

      Sorry I misread above as it not working on duet 3, my bad. I'll still have a play around with the code though, software is more my thing than the electrical side.

      Many thanks to everyone for their help, I'll grab a board and have a play about with it.

        It won't work currently if connecting a raspberry pi or other SBC to the duet.
        I've messaged them to see if the source for their changes are available as we can then port the changes across to the latest build and produce an SBC build of DWC

          adding those buttons in "should" be within what i can actually do lol

          You just have to write a gcode file, with gcodes in it to do whatever you want, and save it to the 'macro' folder on the Duet SD card. Then the macros are available, as clickable entities (almost buttons) in the DWC and on the PanelDue. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Macros

          Edit: yes, the firmware and Duet Web Control (DWC) are open source. See https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware and https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl

            Is workbee "firmware" really a release of Duet/RepRap firmware that they've certified, PLUS their web interface? Or is the actual firmware (that runs on the board) different?

              The firmware has not been changed I believe. They've just supplied different versions of the config.g file for each machine. They probably also test each version to "certify" it

              The main changes to DWC can be seen here https://learn.ooznest.co.uk/Guide/How+To+Use+WorkBee+Control/22?lang=en
              They've mainly updated the dashboard to allow for multiple work co-ordinate systems and quick setting of X, Y and Z offsets.
              At the moment, its based on 2.0.4 I think.

                Perfect, thanks.

                That's more or less what I thought, just wasn't sure.

                  I was thinking more along adding current display of work-offset co-ords or something that might fall outside of that range. But the other version I was linked seems to already do most of what I wanted to add. I make use of the macros list on the side already for purges/filament changes on my printer which are a great feature.

                      Sorry I've got one last bit to question
                      I saw above someone mention connecting to it with a RPI, and a bit on the product page saying
                      "Dedicated High speed bus to a single board computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi) for the user interface and plugins"

                      Does this mean that the Duet 3 doesn't have the interface available from just the board like the duet 2? Do I need an RPI to run the web server? My only experience is the duet 2 wifi which was just plug and play on that front.

                        You can run Duet 3 either in standalone mode (like Duet 2) with its web server using the Ethernet port and local SD card, or with an attached RPi.

                            ..and in standalone mode, you can connect a PanelDue to it.

                              It is possible to tell RRF a transformation matrix (M669), so transforming the machine coordinate system to match the workpiece could be done with some conditional G code. I think you would need variables though, and those are not supported yet.
