Need advices about servo-motor/closed-loop
-
Hi people!
I'd like some advice and tips about an idea.
I have a Robo R2 3D printer.
I like the printer area, the visual, and the overall structure.
But as the boards are "limited", I was thinking on replace the mainboard for a Duet 3 and change the stepper motor by a servo-motor.
I confess I'm new on printing hardware and still reading a lot and making some experiments with my machine.
My intention is convert it to high-end equipment.
Further, the changes will include the hotend and so on.So... is this too much overkill? Waste of money/time? Good choice?
I would be very grateful for some tips and advice on how to improve the printer.

In my opinion, you would not be getting any additional benefits by going to servo's. Also you would probably have difficulty interfacing them to the Duet 3.
I think your best bet would be to identify what areas you want to improve and solicit suggestions on how that could be done. I have much more experience with upgrading CNC machining centers than with 3D printers, but many of the concepts are the same. There is a saying about polishing a turd, it's still a turd. So, instead of upgrading based on what hardware is available, upgrade based on what improvements you need.
Good Luck.

@maxspongebob in order...
1 - quality/precision
2 - silent
3 - easy to setup/modify
4 - implement the second extruder
