Re: Retrofitting a Duet 2 wifi into Makergear M2 Rev. E

Hi Michael! I did this conversion also about 2 years ago and can provide you a config but I would suggest you follow the instructions provided on the Duet sight. The current version of firmware is much higher than that of what I have.. hate updating firmware and breaking a functional printer but I was kind of thinking about doing just that over the Christmas break. I have also install the BLTouch which I highly recommend and I can provide a customized extruder housing to facilitate using it on the M2. There is also a duet housing I put on Thingyverse to be able to place your new board in the same location as the rambo if you are not relocating it due to an enclosure.
You will absolutely need this pair of crimpers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002A ... UTF8&psc=1
and should also have this kit, if you do not already have similar.

The connectors on the rambo have a very slight difference in spacing, some can be used without changing them but I would highly suggest the proper tool (above) as the pings are fing tiny.. Allow yourself a week or more to complete the project just to temper you expectations
Once you get your kit, allow yourself a good amount of time to read all the instructions.
Ping as needed!
