Don't get caught up paying double price on amazon!
If you read any posts on the forum you get the idea that we like to fix and build. Our 3d printing experience has us singing the prases of the longer lk1, basically the ender 10s with various feeders and hot ends. We can get into some heavy production runs and make some really incredible stuff but it's time to explore something different. Our current setup is using the Duet2 wife as our controller and the duet web control as the os so we will stick with that except we are moving to a duet3 with raspberry pi setup.
Part 1:
First step gathering parts.
I failed to mention our goal is to source the most inexpensive components (china) that
is the mechanical stuff. Of course selecting the duet3 will kill any budget, but we are willing to pay extra for top interface and production. If its over kill we will change it out.
The Frame purchase price was heavy discounted but the quality and specs are good
The Drive parts about 20% discounted, again this is not amazon shipping it's china mail.
Hardware kit 20% less
Rails at least 20-30 % less
The Bed was an odd selection, it is 220v but i got it off amazon for 80 delivered, this part has 90 dollar shipping fee even from eBay, so its around 170 bucks, I had a 110v to 220v upconverter but if you purchased this it would add 35 bucks so i'll call it 115price
Still lots of parts to go but I have enough to start assembly
Going to create a tools catagory and tool usage to explain the terminal end builds on the Duet3 controller
