I have a Duet board spare so will start with that, but will need a custom power supply for the heated bed as I think a 300mm x 300mm will fit, but I calculated you need around 600W to get it to ABS temp in a sensible amount of time.

Hi Dave,
I have a Duet 0.6 which has a 10A limit?
I was basing the nearly 600W on 0.6W per cm squared which would produce faster heating.
I don't have a problem building a separate 24V or higher power supply, built plenty of amplifier power supplies.

Have either of you decided on a new controller for it? You going to reuse the power supply? Where will the rolls of filament be stored? Is an e3d v6 even tall enough to replace the oem hotend?

Hey, are these endstops something we can reuse? I only have experience with tradition endstop buttons.

It will fit. I have a 300x300 plate sitting in mine right now, and the XY seems to hit all corners. However, it does have a drawback. You will loose the scraper/waste bin, as it will not fit in there with the larger build plate. Here is a picture of what I mean.

Also, here are two pictures of the V6 sitting on the x carriage. I sat it's lip on the top of the plate, giving it about as much upward protrusion as would have if machined down to 10mm and stuck in the extruder (first picture). You can see, on the underside, that it doesn't quite reach. And that's with the bed as high as it will physically go.

Can the heated bed be spaced a to meet the nozzle, or would it hit something else?
I know the E3D will be better especially considering long term use, but having seen some prints on someone's blog I don't think the standard heads can be that bad?

I just checked the magnetic endstops with a multimeter, and they read continuity when triggered. So I think they should work if you want to try them. Mine were triggering when the magnet got any closer than 7mm.
As for the Z, it is on the carriage, pointed down at the bed, and there seems to be a magnet embedded in stock printing surface. I don't know how you would tell marlin to move to that specific spot on the bed before checking Z home, but I guess that might be possible. I think I'm just going to do what DD did for that one, and mount a micro-switch on the Z rail.
