• High speed uSD card and support for a second external SD card if required.
• Dual extruders on the main board, up to 5 more extruders on the expansion board.
• High Power rating: Each stepper driver is capable of 2.8A motor current, currently limited in software to 2.4A.
• Connect via PC, tablet or smartphone on the same network to the on board web interface.
• Set up your printer and update the firmware through the web interface.
• DUET expansion Board named DUEX 5 installed by default

Interface

• 7-inch Duet3d touchscreen – integrated with the controller
• WiFi web access for remote control from either mobile or PC allowing users to upload print files directly from their workstation
