Hi there
I am not new to 3D Printing but i am new to build a printer to learn some new things. So i am currently building a kind of Hypercube (mixed or remixed parts from Tech2C Hypercube, the Evolution, S.T.E.V.E. CoreXY etc.). Taking the - in my opinion - best parts from each printer for my needs
Now i am getting slowly to the point of wiring the whole electronics.
First things first:
I don't really have a clue of electronics. I know someone who does, but he has no clue of 3D Printers and currently not much time for this ^^
And i don't want to fry the board
Electronics:
Duet Wifi (obviously ^^)
PanelDue 5"
Original BLTouch (3.3-5v i think)
Sunon Part Cooling Fan MF50151V1-A99 (12v)
Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX Hotend Fan (12v)
Original E3DV6 (Bowden) (12v)
NEMA17 2.5A (42BYGHW811L20P1-X2)
Dual-Z-Axis
PSU: ATX Corsair VS550 (eventually getting an additional Meanwell RS-50-24 with 52,8 W, 24V, 2,2A as alternative)
Mosfet from banggood for the planned heatbed
Planned:
Silicone heatbed 250x250 mm, yet unknown voltage
LED near the hotend and/or the frame
I've done a lot of reading (silently here, used google, other forums), but the more i read, the more i am getting confused Or maybe i am only confusing myself
The fact that every part of above electronics has different wiring in terms of color doesn't make it easier for me to understand the whole thing in a sec Currently searching and downloading the schematics of each part.
Connectors will be changed to JST (PH, 2.00 mm i think), the connectors which where send with the board. The Stepper motors etc. are using black flat connectors (called Dupont?) and they don't fit on the board.
I am aware that the duet is capable of using 5v till 24v. I think mixed v are also possible. But i think going with the same voltage for (almost) all electronic parts is the best solution. And i also know that these kind of questions are annoying, so sorry for that question again:
But⦠which voltage/PSU should i use for my build? For the NEMAs i think 24v should be the best option. But then again the most parts are 12v. sigh
And i have not made up my mind of the voltage of the heatbed. A heatbed of 12v or 24v should not make that much of a difference in terms of heating up the build plate (a 230v should then the best solution for speed?)?
I know that i could use one free stepper slot for the second z-axis-motor. But is it also possible to wire the two NEMAs together into one slot (e. g. with a y-cable or something similar)? Or maybe i will switch to a belted system for the z. Don't know yet. I am building this Hypercube slowly for the last 2 months and it changed constantly in terms of specs and dimensions ^^
Thanks in advance for any kind of hints, tips and tricks
