The Wiring of the Duet 2 Wifi and Duex 5 is really good described on: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/2.)+Wiring+your+Duet/9 Getting Started with Duet https://duet3d.dozuki.com/#Section_Getting_started_with_the_Duet_2_WiFi_or_Ethernet Duet Configuration I uploaded my Duet Files that I use with my Printer. Just upload them to your Duet and it should work. In the homeall.g you can set the height of Z0 if your Buildplate is higher or lower. Simplify3D Settings - I've created a new Printer with 200x200x200mm volume, 6 Hotends and a Heated Bed. - On the "Other" tab I set "Toolchange Retraction Speed" to 3600 mm/min - On the "Scripts" tab I set in the "Ending Script" X28 X to home X after printing - No other changes Tool Offsets - You can set the Tool Offsets while printing by using the G10 command - I've added a Tool Offset Test (six rectangles side by side) - For example send G10 P1 X-5.0 Y5.0 Z-0.5 to set offsets for tool 2 - Here you can read the description from duet wiki: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_G10_Tool_Offset If you like my project and you build it I would be happy if you post a make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7dF6PsTCnw Printed model on pictures: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2316918
