Summary
RAMPSXB (RAMPS eXpansion Board) is a shield that attaches to the AUX pins of the common 3D printer control board, RAMPS.
It adds 4 additional stepper motor driver carriers, 4 additional thermistors, 4 additional PWM-controlled MOSFETs, EXP1 and EXP2 for an LCD controller (such as the RepRapDiscount Smart Controller), additional VCC pins, 5V pins, regulated TX/RX for an HC-05 chip, and suppression capacitors on the minimum endstops, similar to the RAMPS 1.4.2.
This allows for a variety of combinations, including 6 completely separate extruders, or a mixing extruder and a few fans, or a mixture of voltages (12V on the main RAMPS, and 24V on the RAMPSXB).
RAMPSXB consumes the maximum endstops, as well as servo pins 2, 3, and 4 to drive the FETs.

Where to get it?
No manufacturers for this yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nothing is too hard to solder, so if you can get ahold of the board, its not very hard to assemble.

Resistors, SMD, 4.7k Ohm | 4 | 0805 | For Thermistors |
Resistor, SMD, 3.3k Ohm | 1 | 0805 | Half of a Voltage divider for the HC-05 Chip. No HC-05? You don't need this! |
Resistor, SMD, 2.2k Ohm | 1 | 0805 | Other Half of a Voltage divider for the HC-05 Chip. No HC-05? You don't need this! |
MOSFET, Through-hole, stp55nf06l | 4 | TO-220 | Main Power MOSFETs. |
TO-220 Heatsinks | 4 | TO-220 | Heatsinks for the FETs. Not required, but dirt cheap and suggested. |
LEDs, SMD | 4 | 0805 | LEDs that tell you if the FETs are on. |
Screw Terminals | 5 | 3.5mm | Input/output power terminals. If you need more than 4A, solder directly to the bottom traces. |
PTC Fuses | 1 | N/A | 30V, 9A if you cover the bottom traces for extra power, 6A if you dont. |
Male/Female Pin Headers | A lot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 0.1" spacing. | Buy a couple of Female double rows, male double rows, male single rows, and female single rows. |
