Summary

RAMPSXB (RAMPS eXpansion Board) is a shield that attaches to the AUX pins of the common 3D printer control board, RAMPS.

It adds 4 additional stepper motor driver carriers, 4 additional thermistors, 4 additional PWM-controlled MOSFETs, EXP1 and EXP2 for an LCD controller (such as the RepRapDiscount Smart Controller), additional VCC pins, 5V pins, regulated TX/RX for an HC-05 chip, and suppression capacitors on the minimum endstops, similar to the RAMPS 1.4.2.

This allows for a variety of combinations, including 6 completely separate extruders, or a mixing extruder and a few fans, or a mixture of voltages (12V on the main RAMPS, and 24V on the RAMPSXB).

RAMPSXB consumes the maximum endstops, as well as servo pins 2, 3, and 4 to drive the FETs.

Where to get it?

No manufacturers for this yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nothing is too hard to solder, so if you can get ahold of the board, its not very hard to assemble.
