      Hey,

      did someone have the copy or mirror mode running on the duetwifi ? The M605 command didn´t work on the duet.

      thanks for help 🙂

        M605 is not supported according to the documentation.

        I think what you are looking for is here:

            That link tells you how to do ditto mode printing. To do mirror mode printing, the easiest way is:

            1. Set up your machine so that X=0 Y=0 is at the centre of the bed, not the corner. This makes sense anyway IMO, it means that when you slice a file you centre it on (0,0) in the slicer regardless of what printer you intend to print it on, or whether you are doing a full size print or a smaller print that has to fit in half the bed space because you are doing ditto or mirror printing. All my printers are set up in this way (Cartesian, Delta and SCARA).

            2. Use the M579 command to apply a scale factor of -1 to the U axis, then do a ditto print.
