@fred-y, oliof

Thank you both for the fast and really helpful reply! Mike

@fred-y (or anyone else!)
Hello again! Work has been hectic and I'm just getting time to do this conversion now.....I wondered if you could share your config file? Or point me how to configure for 4x Z motors. I can't see how to configure 4xZ motors in the RRF config tool.
Thanks in advance! Mike

@t3p3tony
Fantastic : ) thanks for clarifying that! I misunderstood the instructions and thought everything out of the toolboard was at 12v, unless the jumper was used to select 24v.

@t3p3tony
I looked closer at the details for the V1.1 toolbar today. By using the jumper to enable Vin=Vout, I assume this makes the fan and heater outputs 24v, if Vin is 24v?
In that case, 2 heaters wired in parallel could be used on the toolboard. I have 2x 50W/24v heaters in the printhead
Please could you confirm this before I start rebuilding : )
Thanks, Mike

@fred-y
one more question before I take things to bits - can I run the 2 24v heaters off the mainboard and everything else on the print head off the toolbar. I am assuming(and hoping) so!! I saw the toolbar only has the possibility for 12v/5A for heaters. I have 2x 50W, 24v.
At present, I´m only running 1 print head.

@fred-y
Sorry for the slow reply! too busy.......
Thanks very much for the details! Just need to find time for the install now....
The LED strip I´m not bothered about anyway!

@fred-y
Hello again! Just wondered - you just needed the Duet 3, and the toolboard, no other expansion boards? And a panel due?
Was there any weird wiring you came across? I think I'll go down the same route at the moment.
Best regards, Mike

@fred-y
Thanks very much for the info! I already chucked the extruder and print head and upgraded to RRF3.0 to enable this. Thanks for the tool board idea - I think that would be good to minimize the (heavy) wiring which is constantly moving.
I think I will order a Duet screen in case the original doesn't work.....

@t3p3tony
Thanks for the help! I will get some boards and bits and pieces ordered up!
My mistake about the board - thought that was really cheap : )

Hello! I am posting here after reading about various people trying to get Formbot/Vivedino Troodon machines working properly with the existing electronics.
I have one of these machines which is up and running with a new custom built printhead, but the lack of futureproofing means replacing the electronics.
Please could someone share some knowledge to help me order the boards and parts needed to refit one of these machines? I looked at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Going_from_Marlin_on_Arduino_to_RepRapFirmware_on_Duet#Section_What_electrical_details_are_needed_to_configure_RepRapFirmware already, but would be very grateful if someone who has already gone down this path could help!
I am looking at getting a Duet 3 mainboard as a base.
Thanks in advance, best regards, Mike
