Introduction

The Azteeg X3 is a full featured 3D printer controller with high current handling capability. It is Arduino based and pin to pin compatible with RAMPS v1.4. It is capable of running almost all printer configurations including those with dual extruders and large, power hungry heated beds.

The X3 has a removable top shield to physically protect the electronics which also double as an expansion board( 12-24v Boost power supply, stepper drivers[experimental]). Printing via micro SD card is now easier with the built-in microSD slot and also has pads wired for a piezo buzzer.

Think of it as a single board RAMPS + some stuff.

Features

  • Atmel ATmega 1280/2560 with FT231x FTDI USB chip
  • Compatible with Sprinter, Marlin, Repetier, others.
  • 5 Pololu style stepper driver slots.
  • Mosfet control for 2 extruders and 1 hotbed
  • 4 low power PWM Mosfet driven outputs for LEDs and Fans
  • 6 end stops and 3 thermistor inputs
  • 12-24v input high efficiency switching Power supply @ 500ma max
  • microSD card socket built-in with card detect and activity LED
  • On board buzzer
  • Fused and Zener protected +5v Vcc line.
  • Ultra Low RDSon, High power Mosfets for minimal heat buildup
  • Input power selector for micro controller [USB or internal regulator]
  • Secondary power input for stepper motors.
  • High current capacity connectors and PCB traces.
  • Made with 2 oz. copper and RoHS compliant
  • Shield to protect electronics and act as expansion board
  • i2C, +5, GND, SPI and Analog/Digital pins on the expansion ports
  • Fast acting blade fuse
  • Screw terminal or crimp type connector options
  • Lots of LEDs, Rx/TX serial, PWR, hot end and hot bed.
