#Fab 3000 v6 drivers

One of the most notable features of the smoothieboard is the use of Smoothieware Firmware as compared to the Marlin or Repetier firmware thatвЂ™s standard for many of the other boards on the market. Uberclock is the primary North American supplier for Smoothieboards and they can run between $100 and $170 depending on the configuration. Smoothieboard comes in a number of different configurations, 3x, 4x, and 5x, that delegate how many stepper motors the board can support.

Like the Rambo, Smoothieboard has all of the necessary components onboard including A4982 stepper drivers that support 1/16 microstepping. The Arduino Mega 2560 handles all of the computation and interfaces with a RAMPS board that does power handling and IO for each of the components like stepper motors and hotends. The Arduino Mega 2560 and RAMPS have retained their position as one of the top solutions for 3D printing controller boards several years after their creation. In this post, weвЂ™ll be going through some of the most popular and powerful boards on the market today.

The board market is quickly expanding to accommodate things like more motors, faster processors, and wifi capabilities.

The processing power of your controller board can play a large role in how detailed your prints come out, especially for non-cartesian machines like delta printers. Follow along to learn which is best for you!Д¬ontroller boards are the brains of your 3D printer, powering everything from your motors to your hotend.

In this post, Community Member Brett Turnage (creator of many popular OpenRC designs) and Pinshape team member Zachary Frew, share their experiences with many of the most popular controller boards on the market today.
