(Thanks to Poofjunior!)
Here are the general operating conditions adapted from the [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4725897 Orbiter Thingiverse page]:

* 681 [steps/mm] (aka: "Esteps")
* 450-500 [mA] Peak Current
* 3600 [mm/min] max extrusion speed
* 600 [mm/s^2] max extrusion acceleration
* 300 [mm/min] max extrusion jerk
* 0.03 - 0.05 [sec] Pressure Advance
* 0 [mm] nominal X offset from carriage
* 32.75 [mm] nominal Y offset from carriage
* -1.23 [mm] nominal Z offset from carriage

=== Duet Configuration ===

Note that the items shown in < > signs are placeholders and should be replaced with the values you actually have. (Remove the < > signs too!)

Note that the order of many of these commands in the config matters. Example: you cannot refer to sensors or heaters in later lines of the config if they have not been created in previous lines of the config.

''' Define Extruder Steps/mm and Accel/Velocity Characteristics'''

Set the Extruder steps/mm ("Esteps") with:

<pre>
M92 E681
</pre>

Warning: if you have multiple extruders, you need to define them all at once like this:
<pre>
M92 E681:830
</pre>

In the above example, Extruder 0 has 681 steps/mm while Extruder 1 has 830 steps/mm. If your extruder steps/mm are all the same, you can just use one value, and it will apply it to all extruders.

Set the Tool's max speed, accel, and jerk (instantaneous change in velocity) with:
<pre>
M201 E3600 ; Max Speed (mm/min)
M203 E600 ; Max Accel (mm/s^2)
M566 E300 ; Max Jerk (mm/min)
</pre>

Warning: like before, if you have multiple extruders with different settings, you need to call them out individually with values separated by colons.

'''Define an Extruder Axis'''

The Duet ecosystem assumes that tools are connected to single extruder axis. Extruder axes are numbered starting from 0. Define an axis with:

<pre>
M584 E1.0 ; Orbiter 0 on 3HC Board 1
</pre>

The first number is the Canbus board that the motor lives on. The second number is the motor index. If you have multiple extruders, you must call them all out at once separated by colons like this:

<pre>
M584 E1.0:1.1
</pre>

'''Define a Motor Drive'''

Each Extruder axis needs a motor assigned to it. Assign it with
<pre>
M569 P<motor_drive_index> S<1 or 0> D2
</pre>

<code><motor_drive_index></code> is the same value as the <code>E</code> value in the <code>M584</code> command.

Motor direction can be set to <code>S0</code> forwards (default) or <code>S1</code> backwards.

If you have additional motor drives, they each get their own line.

Assign peak motor current with:

<pre>
M906 E450
</pre>

Warning: like before, if you have multiple extruders with different settings, you need to set them all individually separated by colons.

'''Define a Temperature Sensor'''

The Duet ecosystem assumes that each extruder has a single temperature sensor. Define this extruder's temperature sensor index.

<pre>
M308 S<sensor_index> P"1.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4725 C7.060000e-8 A"<sensor_name>"
</pre>

Note that the <code> Y"thermistor"</code> can be other types of sensors, which may have different <code>B</code> and <code>C</code> settings--or none at all! The above settings apply to a [https://e3d-online.com/products/thermistor-cartridge generic E3D thermistor], usually the default in a hotend setup. There is a strict syntax of name choices that can be found in the [https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/M308 M308] documentation.

'''Define a Heater'''

The Duet ecosystem assumes that each extruder has a single heater cartridge. Define this extruder's heater index.

<pre>
M950 H<heater_index> C"1.out0" T<corresponding_temperature_sensor_index>
</pre>

The <code>C"1.out0"</code> string encodes the Canbus board address followed by the output name. The example above creates a heater and assigns it to expansion board 1's output 0.

''' Define a Hotend Fan'''

Fans are tied to PWM based outputs on a particular board. Assign a fan with:

<pre>
M950 F<fan_index> C"1.out3"
</pre>

Like above, the <code>C</code> setting assigns the fan output from a particular board on the canbus, in this case: expansion board 1's output 3.

Additional fan settings can be configured on some outputs with the [https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/M106 M106] command. For example:

<pre>
M106 P<fan_index> S255 H<heater index> T45
</pre>

assigns a heater to the fan and tells the fan not to turn on unless the heater temperature exceeds 45 degrees Celsius.

'''Define a Part Cooling Fan'''
Define a corresponding part cooling fan with:

<pre>
M950 F2 C"1.out6" ; Define Part Cooling Fan output
M106 P2 C"tool0_part_cooling_fan" ; Give it a schnazzy name
</pre>

'''Define a Tool'''

Tools are numbered starting from 0. Define the tool index, tool name, and assign it an existing motor drive, heater, and fan:

<pre>
M563 P<tool_index> S"My Chocolate Extruder" D<motor_drive_index> H<heater_index> F<part_cooling_fan_index>
</pre>

'''Nominal Offset'''

Define the tool's XYZ offset from the ZProbe's trigger location. These can be set to the nominal value and adjusted later when you align tools.

<pre>
G10 P<tool_index> X0 Y32.75 Z-1.23
</pre>

'''Pressure Advance'''

Optional: define this extruder's pressure advance value. This can be omitted (implying a value of 0), but a value of 0.1 seems to be a good starting point for this particular extruder.

<pre>
M572 D<motor_drive_index> S0.03
</pre>
