CoreXY FTW! I didn’t know anything about 3D printers but offloading motors seemed such a good idea, also allowing my stupidly overweight feeding NEMA (it’s like 1/3 of a kilo lol I thought pushing the plastic needed waaay more power than it does) to just sit there! Learned a lot using a crappy extruder (heat creep aaaar) when it snapped I got the E3D V6 (IIRC) Titan was more complicated or more expensive :-) and the heat possibilities made even the cheapest rolls print well with some fans.
I’m using the Marlin board with the Atmel/AVR well euh the standard stuff & and just a usb cable from my PC which is (plus not enough time / laziness) what is now what’s stopping me from using it. Sure, could try to install all on a laptop and walk there etc etc but well… I’d love to make it independent.
Yeah quality wise, it bridged and made flexible prints, for some <=1.000€. Add a thousand hours work for free though :-D
It offloads all the super fast calculations to the Pi. You get all the latest linear advance and input shaping functions, and your Pi can wireless I believe, running Octoprint.
The Duet 2 Wifi had all that built in, and Klipper wasn’t around at the time I picked up the Duet.

I’m still rocking 0.4,
But I’ve since upgraded my system over the years… it’s now a custom COREXY with a E3D Titan Aero.
The board’s now a Duet 2 Wifi and a BLTouch probe.
So now it runs like a $8000 machine and it’s only cost me ~$1000 over the years.

If your still rockin an old Marlin board,
A raspberry pi + Klipper is the way to go.
It offloads all the super fast calculations to the Pi. You get all the latest linear advance and input shaping functions, and your Pi can wireless I believe, running Octoprint.
The Duet 2 Wifi had all that built in, and Klipper wasn’t around at the time I picked up the Duet.
Thanks, I’ll check that out, if I can lay my hands on a raspberry not exceeding the cost of a small car :-)
