Four, a small Mendel, Wanhao i3, Prusa i3 Mk2 multi material & the Dbot.

If I want to go bigger, I'll think about the hang printer, but in some form of simple scalable enclosure.....

I also have 2 CNC machines - OpenBuilds mini mill & the mainly printed cnc (MPCNC)

next may be a lathe, as there are some designs knocking about, and with head stocks etc. currently becoming cheaper, its very tempting....

One of the reasons I've moved to using the Duet for my DBot printer, is that I've had loads of issues with Marlin on a Rumba board, e.g. bed\hotend temperature drops after starting a print... 

Marlin, unfortunately, is trying to be a 'jack of all trades' and support all boards, but most 1.1.x development work seems to be done for Ramps, so other boards may suffer, as there is no formal test process... The 2.x development may well fix this, especially as they seem to be targeting a smaller range of boards.

I also looked at Repetier firmware, but I couldn't control all the periferals, so looked around & found the Duet...

Ah well, too late, but good luck...

I'd wait a while...  

I'm liking the Duet a lot, but I'm still getting used to the setup & configuration, especially for the movement control, BLTouch, multiple fans, lights etc. as its soo different to Marlin.

And I may need to design\build an extension board for additional PWM mosfets to what's provided on the base board and the expansion boards are over the top for what I want.

My other printers are working, so why fix something that isn't broke, but then I like tinkering...

Yay !! 

messages crossing in the aether.....

Are you only powering it from the USB, if so then you'll need some proper power, as the USB lights things up, but the web interface doesn't work, not for me anyway...

You'll need to remove it from the printer (next to WIFI aerial) & mount it on a PC with an SD adaptor

on the root of the SD card is there a www folder ? if not then that is where the problem lies.

SD Card Contents.zip

Tried telnet\ftp, if enabled ??   Did you update to the latest firmware ?  and then downloaded\copied the www files to the card ? I had the same thing till I updated...

Well its' four now....

Got the basics going using the configurator, but, be very careful with things like fans and any case lights etc. as they are enabled differently and can even be 'reversed' using the gcode configuration, especially if you are using 24volt power supply, as I managed to sink a lot of current through a diode resulting in some smoke

I'd recommend using one of the PWM\Fan outputs, to 'play' with the settings.

The dark hanging side is calling.....

I was thinking along the lines of some form of frame, maybe timber, which could be assembled when required, and then packed away.

There is now a development for a large (room sized) printer, using standard Ramps\Arduino etc. have a looka @ https://toms3d.org/2017/12/11/building-a-hangprinter/

As in the picture above, 3 up, you can buy a module, that replaces the battery and you plug your power source into the side...  I've made a few of them & they work a treat..

Some of the plugins can cause issues, have you updated\installed any lately ?

FYI, Thomas Sanladerer (https://www.youtube.com/user/ThomasSanladerer) stated at the end of his latest video that he's going to be doing an article\video with TMC about their latest drivers & boards....

I use their Radds board on my MPCNC & it is a lot quieter & cooler.

... but if you want to make the most of your new 32 bit boards, and you use Marlin firmware, then you may need to use the 2.0 bugfix branch that now supports most of the newer boards, see https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/bugfix-2.0.x ....

In device manager, what port is the USB to Serial shown as ??  and have you set that as the port to be used in EQmod ?

they are designed to hold up the supply long enough for a 'control' signal to tell the connected devices to cleanly shut down.....

As others have stated, if you want to ensure that there is no interuption to the power feed to your devices, then go for a low voltage (battery) system that permamnently runs all your equipment, but is on permanent Mains charge.

The reason I say this, is that for many UPS devices, while they will detect the loss of mains power and auto switch over to a battery\DC inverter, there will be a time lag. The lag may only be a few ms, but this 'glitch' can have issues with some down-stream devices tripping out, USB's failing etc.

It's horses for courses, best quality - Prusa I3, small & fast - mini Mendel etc...

I have a Prusa I3 Mk2 multi material, a D-Bot, Wanhao I3 & a mini Mendel.... 

If you have a design for the lid and\or can create an STL file, I could print it for you....
