      @T3P3Tony I could've sworn it was out of stock before. Disregard, I've ordered a replacement part, thanks!

    • RE: Community repairs?

      Is there an official place to get replacement components? Or a reputable third party one? I need a new terminal connector for the heated bed, and have someone local who will fix it once I have a replacement part. We found https://www.newark.com/multicomp/mc000050/wire-to-board-terminal-block-2/dp/64T3408?MER=sy-me-pd-mi-alte, but it won't be in stock until June 22nd.

    • RE: Plastic melting on Duet 2 Wifi heated bed connector

      Thanks all! I have a few friends who are handy with soldering irons, so I might draft their help.

      This has also inspired me to move my printers on top of a metal table 🙂

    • Plastic melting on Duet 2 Wifi heated bed connector

      I am using a Duet 2 Wifi on my Ultibots D300vs+ 3d printer.

      Recently, while using it, I noticed a burning smell coming from my print area, so I immediately pulled the power cords for all printers. Surprisingly, I discovered the source of the smell was my duet 2 wifi. It appears one of the two cords came lose from the screw connector. The wire must have become grounded on something else, like the printer itself, as my printer was actively printing at the time, with a hot bed, and no heat fault.

      This shows the top of the connector. The screw is discoloured and the plastic is bulging.

      This shows the side of the cord. It shows the plastic bulging from a different angle

      This shows where the wire entered the board. The plastic is discoloured and bulging.

      I purchased the machine 2 years ago. I have ordered a replacement board, however, I wanted to see if this is a known issue, if there is any remediation beyond screwing it in tighter and checking the wires (I'll be going through all high current or voltage wires on my printer today), and if there is any way to replace this connector beyond replacing the board.
