Does anyone have a picture of the DueX2 or 5 connected to a Duet WIFI? Does the DueX ship with a connection cable?

Here is a picture of my bench setup:

The ribbon cable and ferrules are supplied with the DueX2 or X5.

Wow, I'd have bought a DuetWifi right away, but the 6th driver was missing for the diamond hotend. Now seeing this huge overkill expansion board, I hope the DueX2 will also fit?

BTW, haven't seen the DueX2 yet?

Do you have a dimension for the DueX2? How soon can we expect it to be available in US? I had interest in beta testing the board but never heard anything.

The DueX2 is the same as the DueX5 but with some of the components left out, so it is the same size as the DueX5.

We're aiming to have the first production DueX2 and DueX5 boards before Christmas, so if all goes to plan then I guess they will be available in the US just before or just after the new year.

Using the same PCB is good to reduce cost, but I'm afraid some printer lack enough space to place both PCBs in a neat way.
I had to rebuild my Kossel XL because the RADDS didn't fit under the bed. I guess the DuetWifi and the DueX5 can be mounted back_to_back as sandwich?
