Best Budget Mainboard for 3D printing?

For 24V, Cartesian, TMC2208/2209, TFT35 V3.0, and general AUX 1 pinout for extras

$11 RAMPS 1.6 and Arduino (I don't want to mod but I know how to for 24V and TMC)
$21 RAMPS 1.6 and RE-ARM
$21 RAMPS 1.6 plus and Arduino
$29 RAMPS 1.6 plus and RE-ARM
$1 MKS_SGEN_L 32-bit (the dealer cut me a deal if I buy some drivers they would throw one of these in with the buy, I like it, just never heard of the SGEN_L before)
$16 SKR V1.3 32-bit (I like the replaceable fuses)
$22 SKR V1.4 32-bit (I don't see where the extra 30% in cost went)

I probably want to build a lot of printers for my dream of a personal print farm so while I know some people might scoff at an extra dollar or two for an individual printer, I have to multiply the cost over every printer I build. Thank you for your time!

re-arm is really for if you already have a RAMPS... the quality of ramps boards is generally crappy... I wouldn't do this


re skr 1.4.. its not that its more expensive, parts wise its a few cent difference. its that they dropped the price on the skr1.3 to shift the remaining stock of the older model.

Thanks, that all means a lot, I grew up with RAMPS back when the Re-ARM was the most budget friendly non-hacky 32-bit board on the market so I am adjusting my perspective. I meant no disrespect to the skr, just wasn't sure about the difference

I am getting more and more interested in the sgen l vs the skr, it is a really good deal to get a board for almost free and stay in budget but having the blade fuses on the skr would make me cry tears of joy. Tough call.

The skr boards aren't too shabby to be honest. Just don't expect any customer support.

Glad to hear about the skr boards are not too shabby? So long as they work, I'll keep in mind not to bother with customer support. RAMPS taught me how easy the boards were to repair or replace, ideally these 32bit boards are more reliable so I need not bother
