DC42, thanks for the run down on the smoothie and duet. I definitely am putting this on my list of upgrades now. A couple questions though, when it comes to connecting all the wires to the duet, am I just unplugging from the RAMPS board and plugging into the Duet, or do I need to figure out a new system and recompile the firmware so everything works again? Also, is it possible to hook up a camera that could be viewed through the web interface, similar to octoprint?

Digital Dentist, glad to hear you find those upgrades worthwhile. Great write up on your machine too. There's a lot of similarities between your machine and mine, although you've done a better job of over building then the guys at Trinity Labs. Are you still using 12v stepper motors with those drivers or did you upgrade those too? I'm waiting to be able to justify a closed loop stepper system that would completely eliminate skipped steps and allow me to push the motors to the limit. I'm not sure if this would make the need for an extra heavy duty driver redundant though. The bulldog extruder looks really good, and I think that will be one of my next upgrades. Right now my bed is a 1/4" aluminum frame with glass on top and a heater just below that. I've got a sheet of PEI on the way too that I'm looking forward to using. Do you find the aluminum plate much better than printing on glass?

AFAIK the Duet does not support CoreXY, although that may have changed since I inquired over a year ago.

We are in the process of replacing all the two-pronged Receptacles in our home to GFCI receptacles. How do I install a ground wire if there isn't one already? I understand the ground wire is brass and goes to the green screw. Do we merely attach it to the metal box? I know this is a do it yourself project. The estimate from an electrician was $500 for 10 boxes. Pretty steep.
