RAMPS 1.4 Project - Is anyone working on updates? It's been about six years since the RAMPS 1.4 standard was released. It's been three years since RAMPS 1.4.2 was released which seems to have never been adopted by anyone beyond GermanRepRap. So are there any groups actually working on updates to the board design? The wiki claims the project is active but it's just been so many years since the last revision. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,745299,745299#msg-745299 Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:10:02 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,745299,753257#msg-753257 Re: RAMPS 1.4 Project - Is anyone working on updates? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,745299,753257#msg-753257

I just posted a thread about 1.4.2 and the Q3 mosfet (which has a habit of burning out). If anyone is working on updates, I'd love the next version to reliably handle significantly more power at D8 - D10.

It's strange to me that this Q3 mosfet thing is so well-known, as is the fix for it (the upgraded part numbers are in the wiki), but the manufacturers are still making the six year old design. I would guess that this isn't the only such issue, it's just the one I happen to be familiar with. Anyone else have suggestions for a new version?
I've pretty sure the project has been abandoned. A common suggestion is to replace the polyfuses with blade fuses and to switch out the terminal blocks with ones that can handle higher current.]]> manboy RAMPS Electronics Sat, 04 Mar 2017 20:08:20 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,745299,752524#msg-752524 Re: RAMPS 1.4 Project - Is anyone working on updates? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?219,745299,752524#msg-752524
