Heya!
I'm fishing for information, and maybe looking towards my next project.
I'm in need of a controller for my next 3D printer (Mendel90) and I'm 95% happy with my home rolled Gen7 board (I did this over 6 years ago for my Foldarap - still going strong). I've got another electronics project on the go, and I'm sort of having regrets now about not going for an ARM32 MCU, but I digress.
Things I really like about Gen7:
- Replaceable Stepper Drivers
- Marlin Compatible
- It pretty much "just works"
Things I want to improve:
- Switchable Fan output
- Heated Chamber control (power out/temperature in)
- Extra stepper motor output (dual powered Z or dual extruder support)
Before I try and reinvent the wheel - is there already such a beast out there? Or do I need to roll my sleeves up?
