New to Duet3D and Sigma Conversion

droomoo

Hi all,

Just got my Duet3D Wifi and display, I want to use this on my BCN3D Sigma R17 printer that TBH has never worked properly with the stock board and firmware - lots of different random bugs.

Any advice over wire to use or tools for putting the connectors on or anything else for a newbie be much appriciated.

My use for 3D printing is I am the co-founder of Team UnLimbited - https://www.teamunlimbited.org/

I use an engineer PA-09 for crimping most of my connectors.

@jay_s_uk Thanks, will look in to them now.

I have try successfully with a SN28B, with accept the KK 254 crimp.
Lot more fast than with the PA-09

FWIW the recomended tool for the Duet 3 MB6HC and Duet 3 Mini is Engineer PA21, because it will crimp both the KK254 and the VH396 terminals. Duet 2 series boards don't have VH396 connectors, just the KK254.

@dc42 great to know and I think I have one of them SOMEWHERE in my garage

Can't wait to get on with this Sigma conversion as its been sat idle for the last few years as the stock firmware is very buggy.

Shame @iDevelo seems to be AWOL as he previously achieved this conversion.
