Markus "Traumflug" Hitter showing Gen7 replication

One of the main development goals of Generation 7 Electronics is to make RepRap electronics replicatable, just like mechanics. This doesn't include printing resistors or integrated circuits, yet, but I think a first step is done already.

Thanks a lot to Mateusz for editing this video.

peter6960's use of Gen7 Boards (March 2012 - May 2013)

March 2012 - My first Gen 7 1.4.1 on a DIY Printrbot
August 2012 - built my second Printrbot - Still using Gen 7 1.4.1 on both
August 2012 - Gen 7 1.4.1 caption
Built a 1.5 for my EcksbotZA in Dec 2012
Etched one of Xoan's reworked Gen 7 1.5S board
Loved it so much I made up one panel to use for my botfarm - March 2013
Neatly mounted on one of my EcksbotZAs - May 2013
Rack of Ecksbots all running Gen 7 1.5s
another Ecksbot with Gen 7 1.5 at the office

I have soldered a Gen7 v1.3 board. It's working with the Teacup firmware. The PCB and components were supplied by Traumflug.

This video, also shown on the printrbot.com page, clearly shows a Printrbot driven by a Gen7 v1.2. Nice!

It was my first attempt on milling a PCB on my Solsylva 10x9 using Eagle and pcb-gcode. Not the prettiest, but it's been working great.

Etched a couple V1.1 boards a while ago. I have one on my prusa and one for my test_tube_mendel when I get it that far. The prusa is jogging around but no prints yet as I haven't got the extruder going. Now I have a few more in process for the Vertical_X_Axis_Standard_Contest. They are V1.3 boards.
