Duet 3 with intergated Raspi Compute module

[cianforstuff]

Raspi's in 3d printing arent a new thign , wether it be octoprint , the emeragince of klipper, or SBC Functionality in the duet 3 echosystem itsself

Recently ive been playing arround with some of thease, and in parrell working with the raspberry pi compute modelul 4, in other non 3d printing projects. It got me thinking intergrating a standerd main board with a dedicarted spot, heder, supply for it. Hopefully this would make for a cleaner expearance.

After a quick google there is things that people are working on somtrhing along theas lines but, personally I still have prefrance for the Duet ecosystem and RepRap Firmware.

NIce to haves would include the fillowing:

• Duet 3 mini5 iteration
• Built in supply for Compute module
• Ethernet out

In the next few weeks or so im going to try create a hat that could interface between the two, I would love to be in a position to have the time to rework the whole MB my self but i already have too many projects on the go. Nevertheless, if this is somtheing that could be moved to devolopment/ is in devolopment, I would be more than happy to help out. I currently just graduated form a masters in electronic engineering, to having a few more projects under my belt is allways a bonus

Thanks Guys
Cian

@cianforstuff we looked into this but it isn't economical, because of the cost of the additional connectors (HDMI ports, USB ports, camera etc.) that we would need to add to the Duet.

@dc42 , Thats understandable. Regardless of how good a product is, price will alwats be a factor

It also locks you into a single type/generation of SBC.
