Hello,

I recently designed 5-axis conversion on Prusa i3 Hardware.
This is based on Duet2 board + duex5. The total price of conversion was roughly around £400 including the boards but excluding 3D printing and the CAD license.
Still have few areas for improvement and some more techniques that could be implemented.
But here it is!

Conformal slicing was done using Grasshopper on Rhino 3D.
All the configuration and script file, STL will be shared on Github very soon! It would be great to have various contributions from more users

Hi Guys,

I am new to the Duet community. I have background in architecture and design engineering.
I have been building kinetic installations and machines using ramps board but now I am planning to implent Duet boards for my future projects.
I am excited to make this transition after reading posts from the forum and the descriptions of the board.

I am looking to make new combined IDEX + Direct Ink printer as well as some art works for other side projects.

So my first question to the community is, is it possible to use the Duet board without a firmware? like arduino + ramps to simply control stepper motors recevice serial informations and etc? I think it woule be amazing if I can connect Duet2 to expansion board and utilise all stepper motors to create kinetic art installations.

Examples of my previous projects are below, I hope this helps you understand what kind of works I am doing.

I made xbox controller to control hot wire cutter:

and also Kinetic sound installation:

Thank you! I hope you enjoy looking at the project!

I look forward to posting works in the community and share informations with the other users and developers

Best,
