Introduction

This guide walks through the assembly of the PanelDue and Duet 3 Mini 5+ with its case. Remove your old controller board/case and LCD before starting this guide.

You can find the necessary hardware for this guide in our BOM, here. The printed parts are located here.

  1. Be careful when handling the antenna, especially the connection with the board is very sensitive and you should avoid putting any strain on it. Unscrew the antenna carefully from the wire and keep it where you will find it again. You can keep the antenna connected to the board. Remove the golden nut and washer from the thread as well and keep them where you will find them again. They will be used to secure the antenna to the board case in a later step.

  2. Secure the board in duet_cover_back with 4x M4x10 screws. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws as this might damage the board. Make sure to use the washers that Duet3D includes with the Mini 5+ between the screw head and the board. Like this you avoid damaging any solder points when tightening the screws.

  3. Be careful when handling the antenna, especially the connection with the board is very sensitive and you should avoid putting any strain on it. The connection between antenna and the board is designed at an angle to optimize the wire position of the antenna which avoids unnecessary strain on the wire and board connection. Insert the hex nut end of the antenna wire into the its pocket on the case.

    • Secure the wire to the case by screwing the included hex nut to the outside of the case until it is secured firmly.

    • Make sure to use the locking washer between the case and the hex nut.

    • Lastly attach the antenna by screwing it on the remaining thread.
