Which control board?

[Shatty]

Marlin doesnt run on the duet boards. They run the reprap firmware. The duet 3 runs at 300mhz. Which is incredible for a 3d printer mainboard. The 2 does not. The SKR pro runs at 168mhz and that is about as good as you are gonna get for the marlin running boards. The SKR 1.3 and 1.4 run at 100mhz and the SKR 1.4 TURBO runs at 120mhz. Sorry I didn't see this until after your purchase. I would have recommended you chase a higher voltage over wattage power supply. These power supplies are not 80 plus and if you get a 500 watt power supply it will likely draw closer to that whenever it is on no matter the load. I just bought a MeanWell HRP-450-24 power supply for my TronXY. This power supply is a low profile power supply. Meant for server or rack mount. 1u height. And this bad boy is 88% efficient. And that matters for machines we leave on and let run for so many hours at a time. But the Meanwell SE-600-24 in my Tevo Black Widow is not 88 percent efficient.

I went with the 500-24 because that’s what they were selling on the net as an upgrade for the e5+. I thought it had to be 24v because the components are. I heard reprap is easier to setup. I thought Marlin could be run on all boards and is more widely used. My bad on that. I am becoming more knowledgeable each day with how these things operate. Installed my DIrect drive Swiss extruder today. PS coming Wednesday. Other small stuff coming thurs and Friday. Board should be here in a day or 2 with the display. I’m def gunna need help setting all this up lol. I’m in IT so I can handle the tech stuff. Most PS that are not 80 bronze or gold or whatever are only 70-75% efficient. So I would prob get closer to 400 on the 500.

The MW PS is still better than the crap stock one. I wanna get better stepper motors so I can take advantage of the 256 stepping on the board. Stepperonline good? I heard the better motors can really take advantage of the 256 stepping.

Woa. My bad guy. I knew Meanwell made good power supplies but this conversation made me go and check and so far everything Meanwell I am looking at is 80 plus with the exception of a 5v power supply: https://www.meanwell.com/productPdf.aspx?i=469 . If yours is the RSP 500-24 then it is up to 90.5% efficient: https://www.meanwell.com/productPdf.aspx?i=467 . I hate being wrong and spreading bad info. Sorry dude. Also I thought your stuff was 12v. 24v is awesome and your PS is perfect by my standards.
