The Duet 3 Mainboard is a next-generation controller board that builds on Duet3D's experience in developing the most flexible and expandable 3d printer control solutions. It is the core of the Duet 3 family which provides control for a wide range of machines including 3D printers, CNCs, laser cutters and more.  The overall aim with the Duet 3 series is to allow for maximum flexibility of machine design through highly capable main boards, expansion boards, smart tool boards and custom expansion modules. The flexibility of configuration and advanced features are enabled by our innovative RepRapFirmware 3 running on the Duet 3 Mainboard and DuetSoftwareFramework running on a single board computer.  See the documentation links below for a full feature set. Features: Powerful 32 Bit Processor (ARM Cortex M7 @300Mhz) Dedicated High-speed bus to a single board computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi) for the user interface and plugins 6 Next Generation Trinamic 5160 stepper drivers running at up to 4A RMS, 5.6A peak with firmware control of the full feature set including up to 256 microstepping, StallGuard 2 and StealthChop2 2 CAN-FD buses that support the next generation of Duet3D expansion boards, smart tools and custom addons. initial target is support for up to 8 x 3 channel expansion boards (another 24 stepper channels). 10 PWM outputs of varying current capacities support a high current heated bed, 3 extruders and 6 fans. 9 IO ports for endstops, probes, filament monitors and other sensors. 4 Thermistor/PT1000 inputs and support for 4 PT100/thermocouple inputs via the optional daughterboards. Connect via PC, tablet or smartphone on the same network to the onboard web interface. Set up your printer and update the firmware through the web interface. All common 3D printer geometries are supported Support for a wide range of Z probes including DC42’s IR Z probe and the Duet3D Smart Effector for delta printers. Documentation: The documentation for Duet 3 is here: Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC Hardware Overview Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC Wiring Diagram As an example of the many expansion modules planned, a quick overview of the Duet 3 Expansion 3HC board is available here. Note that the Duet 3 6HC does not have a 10 pin LCD/SD connector, so you must use the 4 pin cable for connecting a PanelDue if using with a Duet 3 6HC. As of May 12th, 2021, all Duet3D products purchased from Filastruder will be eligible for a 12-month limited warranty. For more information, visit http://www.duet3d.com/warranty.
