Duet 3 demo at TCT

Sounds really exciting. Do you have a timeline for when beta or first retail will be available?
I would like to be on the list of Beta Testers if it is possible

@percar we want to have some initial production boards in Q2 2019.

Hi,

The new design looks very well thought out.

It's a good thing it is not going to be around until next year - gives me time to come up with the reason why I have to have it - it's a "wife" thing.

@t3p3tony Hey, so how close are you guys to that Q2 2019 goal for early production boards? Can you take my money for it yet?

Would it be possible to make an expansion board that mounts directly to the extruder? Say it has a single stepper driver, some PWN fan controls, Z probe input, heater control and a thermistor input? Would be really nice if all you had to run to the extruder is power and data, instead of having a mess of wires like normal. Would also make tool changing much easier.

I think they've actually talked about a board exactly like that.

It will be a smart tool board, handling at least an extruder motor, heater, temperature sensor, 2 fans and a Z probe.

I do have a Duet 2 - I don't need a Duet 3 - I do have a Duet 2 - I don't need a Duet 3...

Just practicing. I need to get this mandra working until Duet 3 is available.

I was testing the Duet 3 second prototypes earlier today.

@c310 That link works for me.

Manuel, - it's "mantra" not "mandra" (that's a town in Greece). Oh and it's "practising" not "practicing".

Here endeth the English lesson for today

wilriker

@deckingman Yeah, the mandra-mantra thing is the same in German.

But with "practicing" I can - for once - correct you. This is the valid American spelling. And since I usually also write "color" and "honor" I consider this correct.

deckingman

@wilriker I gave you an English lesson, not an American lesson. They drive on the wrong side of the road and use all the wrong words for parts of cars (trunk instead of boot, hood instead of bonnet etc).

DocTrucker

@deckingman; but at least they don't call a damper a shock absorber, which technically is the spring!

Edit: Conversations that are not intended as formal publications (particularly online) being pulled off track into irrelevant discussions in grammer, spelling, or other language technicalities is a pet hate of mine.

By all means raise questions when the use of language has left the message unclear but otherwise it serves little purpose.

deckingman

@doctrucker Fair comment - and apologies. (Although sometimes a little light relief can be welcome).

DocTrucker

@deckingman no worries!

USB webcam support and easy time lapses

+1 for a plug and play camera.

A simple way to plug in a small off the shelf camera (Aliexpress generic modules or DueCam) would be a great addition. Being able to view the stream remotely in the web interface.
