Total system cost reduction is the goal. Don't forget the real estate and assembly costs too, then factor in being able to redesign the hardware without redoing the PCB's etc.

3 modern stepper controller chips and a serial link to a smaller CPU for the extruder and the job is done. The total electronics should only be about $30 in parts.

Certainly getting off the ground with SPI based peripherals is a winning idea.

It is clear that the trend is currently away from the networked boards of the first generation.

I think if that is what I wanted I would be buying Zigb modules

Can has it place/s I am not sure this is one of them.

your obsession with CAN

it's simply a case of horses and courses. For me personally CAN is not the horse for this course

Why take a chance on the licensing/IP

RS485/422 is pretty much well defined, electricaly resilient, cheap as chips and been around for years

Protocol engines, stacks and state machines are not particularly difficult to construct.

Or at least that is what I understood it to be, I am happy to be told that I have got the wrong end of the stick and apologize in advance if this is not the case.
