3d printers compatibility

[Prumnea]

I have read your work on converting the Prusa MK3S to have a 4th-axis printer. That is really impressive!
I would like to ask if other types of Prusa printers or printers from other brands would work as well?

Thanks very much!

Yep it will work in basically an identical manner for any other printer that you convert to run off the duet controller.

There may be some small changes to the firmware required (e.g. if there is only one motor for the z axis instead of two), but if there are any changes required, they will be minor and you can ask on here for help.

There will also potentially need to be some changes to the brackets. I'm not sure how the x-carriages vary from prusa to prusa. This would involve designing a revised bracket with new hole positions. It's an easy CAD job. We've provided the step files for our models.

We're already looking at releasing brackets for an ender 3. If anyone creates new brackets for alternative printers, please let us know and we'll add them to this repo and the guide so other people can benefit!
