      Hi. My Duet wifi just arrived. Build quality looks very nice, except the power connector wasn't fully inserted before soldering. This makes it mechanically vulnerable to cracked traces down the road. Easy enough to fix up front with a soldering iron. Mostly wanted to give your assembly team an alert, as well as any owners out there.alt text

          Since every other connector on the board is pluggable, have you considered something like an xt30 for input, bed and heaters?

            @denke Yes, considered XT30 however future hardware designs will most likely use a terminal block (like we have used on the Duet Maestro and are used on most 24V power supplies). XT30 is tricky for some people to terminate properly.

              I just brought it up because they are pluggable, and the polarity is clearly indicated.

              If it's not convenient, then it doesn't matter, i just wanted to ask.
