In this video we show you how to setup your Reprap Firmware config.g file and home files within the Duet Wifi interface.

We use the Duetwifi board to drive dual x-axis motion of this particular 3d printer. We've tried many boards and Duet3d is the only one that performs.
We're now using the Duet 3 Mainboard 6HC on the Workhorse Printer. I'm still documenting all the steps but this is what I have so far.

If you haven't wired a 3d printer before I suggest reading over the Duet3D website to gather more information.

The Duet 2 Wifi is an advanced 32 bit electronics for the control of 3D printers and other CNC machines. It has the same features as the Duet 2 Ethernet other than providing a WiFi connectivity rather than ethernet, full feature description is available in our documentation.
