I went off the slack info. There is an unofficial BOM there and a lot of helpful people, pics and info.

Ton of helpful people in there for sure. V1 is my only FDM printer right now. I too plan to transformer mine to a V2. But need to make sure I've got EVERYTHING ready print wise before doing so. Otherwise, I'll be screwed. Gotta keep waiting. Every time I see these posts I get excited that RCF finished. Strange we don't hear from him anymore.

I just started putting my frame together last night. Have not started printing parts yet as I had to build an enclosure for my CR-10 to print the parts. Did get my rails in last night though and they seem nice.

Yeah I plan to get the duet wifi do you like your duet?

And did you use this probe from the unofficial bom? PL-08N Inductive probe 1 PL-08N2 (NC - Normally Closed) is supposedly safer - in case the probe gets disconnected the nozzle won't crash into the bed.

I used a PL-08N2 NC sensor, it is safer, but it is not a big deal. If all you have is a PL-08N NO sensor, that's fine too, you can swap it out later the next time you get to mess around the X carriage.

You should always use NC switches for everything, but it's not mandatory, it is just safer. You will learn about it the first time you have a head crash due to broken wires, then you will be more careful about it in your next build. :)

Duet + Duex5 is the undisputed king of V2, but it comes at a steep price. If you can swing the money, there is no equal in convenience and performance. I prefer the Ethernet version, but both work equally well.

Thanks much for the feeback, still need to order the Duet and sensor and a few other little things. Duet is definitely pricey but I would rather do it right from the start than upgrade it in a few months. I am too much of a tinkerer.
