      Hello,

      I have a Duet 2 Wifi controller board, and I want to control a Delta printer with three extruders.

      So I require one additional stepper driver, or a replacement board with six stepper drivers in total.

      From what I can gather, my options are a Duex 5, or buy a new Duet 3 which has the six stepper drivers.

      Is there another option to give me the one stepper controller I need without paying hundreds of dollars?

        @sureshot use a single stepper expansion board. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_external_stepper_motor_drivers#Section_Connecting_Pololu_style_drivers

          You are aware of the Duet mini5+ option with extra two drivers daughter board, right?
