Tool Change?
-
Hello,
I presently have the Duet WiFi board and I’m building my own version of a Core XY printer with tool changing capabilities. I’m looking at using 5 tool heads.
Can anyone please tell me what all is required as far as electronics goes to help me finish my printer.
Any help would be much appreciated and thank you to all who reply!

How's this for a start?

As far as electronics goes, you'll also need a DueX5 to drive the additional extruder motors, heaters and fans.

Yeah the Duet Wifi board and the Duex5 should be all you need. If your extruders use anything other than thermistors (like thermocouples), you might need daughterboards.
Can a DuetWifi and Duex5 connect 5 or more daughterboards? Would benfish65 need one daughterboard per thermocouple?

You can install 2 daughter boards on the Duet and another 2 on the DueX5, to get a total of 8 PT100 and/or thermocouple inputs.
