Duet3 board for an Anycubic Kobra 2 Max?
-
Has anyone had experience swapping out the controller board on a Kobra 2 Max for a Duet board? I'm curious as the whether a duet board would support the standard sensors on this printer or whether I would need to swap anything out.
I already have one of my old printers converted to run on a duet2 board for the last few years and it's been very reliable.
Thanks. -
@bug2k22 that printer is pretty similar to an Ender 3 in terms of sensors and build type, with the autoz sensor ("LevIQ") being the only extra thing, but macros for this exist as well
From a cursory check on the any cubic website, after trying to get rid of the advertising, I think you should be fine with a duet 3 mini 5+.. I don't know whether the printer has dual Y motors, if yes you may need the 2 driver expansion (or add an RRF compatible toolboard for the print head).
-
@oliof Thanks for that. The y axis has a single stepper with a dual shaft out of each end of the motor driving the 2 y axis rails. I'll check on the spec of this motor, hopefully below the 2A rating of the drivers on that board.

@bug2k22 quickly checking the precious little documentation on the main control board, I dont think you will have an issue running this printer on a duet 3 mini 5+.

@oliof Thanks, most of the connections are obvious, I can probe out the cable from the print head to the board connector.
There are a couple of connections which I presume cannot be used, one to what looks to be a 'calibration' switch at the rear of the print bed and next to this an 'acc sensor'.
