Hello wise people, I am left with my Creality CR10 S5 and I wanted to know how difficult would it be to get the duet wifi and a 24V power Supply and 24V steppers and modify the CR1 S5 to a duet motherboard. I was thinking Moons Steppers. Or maybe jsut wait and get the E3D toolchanger rather than going trough the gauntlet of figuring all these things out, time is limited these days.

Has anyone attempted this mod on a Creality? I am open to other suggestions if you think there are better avenues to take?

Thanks for that piece of wisdom.

Thank you for your reply. I would get a meanwell power supply, no point on getting the duet board and keeping the 12v supply, or maybe I could get a 12V meanwell. But I feel with 24v it would heat up the bed faster. And yes the bed heating is for 12V, I would need to upgrade that part as well. I was also checking the prices on the E3D tool changer and I was thinking maybe I should just wait and get that, because it has a lot of posibilities, and just keep the cr-10 s5 as it is, maybe get parts in time for it. Because I did have a plan to get the prusa anyway. But now with e3D being so close to being released, then I could get that and have no headaches, jut getting the tooling in time. What do you think?

Now thinking about the E3D and I also checked the prices on it, by the tiem I get a prusa, and th eupgrades to the cr10 s5, I just get a bad ass E3D tool changer, Is like geting a creality which needs a ton of upgrades or prusa and the MMU upgrade and some other upgrades to it. Well not quite, but it seems that the tool changer will be a lot of printer, and it has the duet board in it already.

I do not really understand this part:

Is the heat bed going to be 24V or mains? If 24V look at the current
requirements, you may need to move it off the Duet onto an SSR.
