Controls? I haven't a clue yet. I'm good with robotics and PLC programming, but C and other coding frustrates me. I will use a Rumba board because it seems to have everything I'll need, want WiFi, Ethernet, and a small HMI or touchscreen.

hi
all the best with your first build, but E3D dont produce the diamond HE its made by RepRap Me
like your choice of boards with the rumba you seen the one made by makerbase like the fact its got the header for there touch screens.

Followed from your other thread.
FolgerTech has better prices.
I think linear rails are way overkill. Go watch Tech2C corexy build on youtube. 10-12mm rods are perfectly fine for positioning molten plastic threads.
I'd use the carbon fiber tubes like he did.
But I am a RepRap minimalist anyways, see SmartRap Mini 2, the scary printer.
Dunno rumba, Duet can run all that stuff from what I read.
What exactly are you going to be making WITH this machine?

Rumba supports 6 stepper drivers (enough for a 3-input Diamond hot end), but does not have WiFi or Ethernet. Any WiFi or Ethernet add-on you get for it may give you a basic control interface over the network, but not fast file upload to the SD card. I'm biased (see my signature) but if you want WiFi or Ethernet as your main interface, get a Duet WiFi or a Duet Ethernet. The (just announced) Duet Maestro doesn't handle the 8 independent stepper motors that you need for a machine with a 5-input Diamond hot end.
The machine you are aiming to build sounds a lot like this one [somei3deas.wordpress.com]. The guy who built it has loads of experience and understands the 5-input Diamond better than anyone else I know.

Need a 400 X 400 X 400mm workspace for that one.

Question - Ballscrew or leadscrew? Ballscrew would require a lot less torque for the Z-axis lift.
