Features of the Duet3 6HC Main Board
- Processor: Employs a robust 32-bit ARM Cortex M7 operating at 300Mhz.
- Connectivity: Facilitates high-speed bus connection to a singular-board computer like Raspberry Pi for superior user interface potential.
- Stepper Drivers: Equipped with 6 robust Trinamic 5160 stepper drivers, offering up to 4.45A RMS and 6.3A peak. It includes smart features like firmware operation of all functions up to 256 microsteps, StallGuard2, and StealthChop2.
- Expansion Support: Fully compatible with upcoming Duet3D expansion boards, intelligent tools, and custom plug-ins through the CAN-FD bus, offering support for up to 8 3-channel expansion boards, supplementing another 24 stepper channels initially.
- PWM Outputs: Offers 10 variable current capacity PWM outputs designed for one high-current heating bed, 3 extruders, and 6 fans.
- I/O Ports: Boasts 9 I/O ports designed for endstops, probes, filament monitors, and other sensors.
- Temperature Inputs: Supports 4 thermistor/PT1000 inputs and 4 PT100/thermocouple inputs through optional daughter boards.
- Web Interface: Integrated web interface accessible through PC, tablet, or smartphone on the same network.
- Configuration and Firmware Updates: Simplified setup and firmware updates via the web interface.
- Geometry Support: Accommodates all typical 3D printer geometries.
- Z-Probe Support: Supports multiple Z-probes, including DC42’s IR Z-probe and the Duet3D Smart Effector specifically designed for delta printers.
Features of the Duet3 3HC Expansion Board
- Processor: Utilizes a dedicated 32-bit ARM Cortex M4F operating at 120 Mhz.
- CAN-FD Bus: Connect seamlessly to the Duet 3 main board, facilitating multiple expansion boards. It supports up to 8 x 3-channel expansion boards initially, adding an additional 24 stepper channels.
- Stepper Drivers: Houses next-generation Trinamic 5160 stepper driver with capabilities up to 4.45A RMS, 6.3A peak. Includes full functionality with firmware control, 256 microsteps, StallGuard2, and StealthChop2.
- PWM Outputs: Equipped with 9 PWM outputs of fluctuating current capacities to accommodate 3 extruders and 6 fans.
- I/O Ports: Incorporates 6 I/O ports functioning for terminals, probes, filament monitors, and other sensors.
- Temperature Inputs: Features 3 Thermistor/PT1000 inputs and supports 4 PT100/thermocouple inputs via an optional daughter board.
- Z-Probe Support: Supports various Z-probes, including DC42 IR Z-probe and Duet3D Smart Effector tailored for delta printers.
- Package Components: The standard package incorporates a connector set with a complete set of housing and crimps, but excludes the CAN-FD cable. It is advisable to purchase “ADSL 2+ High Speed Broadband Modem Cable RJ11 to RJ11” of the correct length separately.
