Duet Wifi

Working on another project which will probably use a Duet Wifi control board. Just thinking aloud but is it possible to run a Prusa Mk3 from this board or will I lose any functionality ?.

Re: Duet Wifi

Hi Pat,

as far as I am currently aware the Duet is a completely different controller, and the Prusa firmware is not directly compatible.

the hardware of the prusa is largely agnostic. it doesn't care which controller it's connected to...

Prusa have been developing firmware for the einsy recently, and the rambo mini before that.

whether they have been developing for duet wifi as well, is not common knowledge
It's perfectly possible that Prusa have some duet boards, ready willing and able, under lock and key, burtsing to get out!

I believe the Duet wifi can run Marlin... and a lot of the prusa features are also available in the marlin firmware... in different configurations

whether sensorless homing, skipped step detection, layer shift detection, power panic, XYZ configuratio, mesh bed levelling, filament sensor and power panic will work with the duet, is anybodies guess!

so, yes you could hook prusa hardwear to a duet wifi board, wit wouldn't be an original Prusa, anymore, and you would have to work out your own config parameters. however I suspect you could make it into a very competent 3D printer

Many thanks, quite happy with the einsy at present but would really like expansion facilities while maintaining all the MK3 features. Not asking much !!.

RE: Duet Wifi

Hi Joan hope u fine and i read sometimes ur reply in the french post 😉 that good.

As i just read this post i wonder me if after 4y you have any good tips to set up the FMW prusa or if as you wrote it, they may have one for the duet2 ?

Am done with design and hardware test connect cable .....i did pretty good work so far and i aware of the FMW , RRF3 on the duet2 but as i really like the options and easy use of the prusa fmw on the rambo i just wondering me if you have direct news or last news abt this subject ?

thx

another Pat but not same same... 😎

RE: Duet Wifi

Hi Patrick, 
My input on the French forum is limited to my ability to use the translation services.  🙂

I dont think Prusa do firmware for Duet boards,

you could ask Murathan Araz, at 'Zaribo', I know he has tried a number of different controllers, he may have tried Duet.
