Duet 3 mini 5+ vs Prusa Mk4
-
Is there any way the Duet 3 mini 5+ board can be programmed to rival the Prusa Mk4 for speed/accuracy?
I have a Prusa Mk4 and a Bear framed Prusa like printer I designed and made myself. on the latest iteration I have installed some of the Mk4 features such as the 10mm Z-axis rods, a Revo Hemera extruder assembly and based the 3d printed parts on the Prusa, but made them a bit stronger.
I would say my printer is easily as stiff and stable as the Prusa, so, would this be possible? -
@handyandy I suspect it will be as good as you are prepared to calibrate it. The thing is that Prusa will have probably thousands of hours of calibration tests and data all on the same hardware and will have had a lot of engineers analysing that data and tuning the firmware to get the best out of the hardware. You have a single example of your hardware and just you to calibrate and tune it...

@gloomyandy Fair point. No one seems to write decent papers with details of settings etc. Apart from this forum you're verymuch on your own.

@handyandy I think the Teaching Tech calibration guide is pretty good: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html
Also the 'Califlower' yields good results, though at a cost: https://vector3d.shop/products/califlower-calibration-tool-mk2Ian
