Duet 2
Brand:Duet3D
We sell a pre-commissioned version for the WorkBee here: https://ooznest.co.uk/product/original-workbee-replacement-duet/
The Duet 2 is an advanced 32 Bit machine controller board. The Duet features a powerful Atmel 120Mhz processor. This processor has the headroom to smoothly control any machine, with advanced features just not seen on any other controller in its class.
Not only does the Duet have a top class processor, it has super quiet TMC2660 Stepper Motor Drivers. These SPI Controlled drivers are capable of up to 256 microstepping. Microstepping, as well as current, can all be controlled through software on the fly. Each driver can control up to 2.4A, this is enough for all NEMA17 Stepper Motors and most NEMA23 Stepper Motors.
The feature list of the Duet is endless, it can simultaneously control a heated and 2 extruders, with 3 PWM controllable fans and 2 always-on fans. These fans can be run from the input voltage, 5v voltage, or external power. The heated bed output is 18A, enough for a monster heated bed! The Duet can also be expanded to control a further 7 stepper motors and 5 expansion drivers.
A 32-Bit Controller
The Duet 3D Printer controller is so flexible. It can be controlled via a PC, tablet or even your smartphone on the same network. To make it even easier, there is no software to install, simply connect to your board through the browser of your choice and the software will load up. As the G-Code files are stored on the machine, the Duet is also tetherless, meaning a job can be started from the web control and then you can disconnect, and the machine will carry on printing/cutting. If you don’t want to use an external device to control the machine then this is covered, the PanelDue controller provides touch screen support with a virtual keyboard.
Nearly all modern printers are supported, including Cartesian, Delta, CoreXY, IDEX, Scara, and along with 3D Printers, CNC Machines and Lasercutters are also supported. Which ever machine you have, the Duet is extremely easy to configure, the firmware is configured and updated directly through the web interface, no compiling needed!
The Duet2 is a complete Opensource controller. The Hardware designs are licensed under CERN OHL 1.2, and the design files are available on GitHub. RepRapFirmware and DuetWebControl are licensed under GPL. The Duet is open for calibration, got a hardware or software change, the guys at Duet welcome suggestions from the community.

Bought as replacement after the a mains spike (large) fried the first. easy to set up and works well.

A great bit of kit. it took a bit of reading on how to configure it for my set up. there were a couple of problems like riprap configuration was giving the home position as x0, y0, z0 and in fact duet was configured x0, y0, z5. the riprap code page was very helpful but i had to resort to duet forums for help because there were a lot of updates like coding a reverse signal fr my z probe ie: i1 is now just ! etc. i have installed my duet3d board in a desktop computer case with external mounted jst sockets making it portable and yould be used to upgrade another printer. i also needed something that would run a hot end upto 300c. i am using a thermocouple in preference to a thermistor to monitor high temperatures. i had a problem with the dwc keep disconnect from my net work, i checked my router channel set up and found it was set to channel six. i changed it to auto channel and now works great.

Ooznest shipped quickly the Duet 2 was in use on day it was delivered. As with other products I wish I could have picked a quicker delivery method.

Purchased Duet 2 WiFi, excellent bit of kit.
Robert Maddock (verified owner) –
Great product. well packaged and a quality build.

Haven’t used it to print yet but have connected it to the internet which was really easy. the layout and access to connections seems so much better than the ramps board i am used to.

I really like the simplicity of this controller, easy to connect to wifi network. and you dont have to have a computer running when the machine is working.
its also extremely easy to update things in the code compare to controllers that you
have to compile and upload firmware via arduino ide. this is a big big plus.
you only need a webbrowser to controll the machine:)

Fourth duet board purchased for 3d printers. in my opinion the best card on the market at acceptable prices. the previous ones, even if they were from the old generation, were already excellent. i believe this will be even better (if possible).
i recommend buying the duet, it’s a great product.

Brilliant board, my reason for dropping a star on vfm is that the ethernet is more expensive than the wifi variant. honestly would of thought the wifi variant with its parts would cost more.

Exceptional product well worth the money. accompanied by excellent technical support. will be buying another for my next project…

The duet2 is a complete and easy to use 3d printer or cnc controller among other things. the web based interface is a breeze to control and no problem to set up even with the wireless option. using yat to setup your ssid and stuff is easier than i thought and went seamlessly with the two boards that i bought. one controls a workbee and the other is going into a self built 3d printer. i have been using the duet 0.6 version controller on a 3d printer for 5 years now and it goes on and on without a hiccup.
being able to update the firmware and config files on the fly, use the printer stand alone and log in from anywhere and control from your phone is just the bees knees. worth ever penny. you get a solid hardware platform to build the most demanding printers or cnc machines. expandable architecture allows for future proofing giving the potential for 7 extruder heads. along with the base being a 32bit arm processor which gives lovely quiet operation and high precision control over the steppers and, because it all hangs of this well established production of due boards, this combination gives a whopping power throughput of 18a, 15a to the heat bed alone. all in all these boards are worth their money and it supports local industries “to boot”!

Compared to the trigorilla board that came with my printer (anycubic kossel), this is miles better in terms of quality. not fully installed yet, but servos are much quieter and leds are very useful for checking the limits.

Top of the pops for 3d printer controll with much features.
much better than the standard ulticontroller of my ultimaker 2.
