The Alligator Board is designed to be a complete and reliable solution as RepRap 3D printer electronic control board. The base module features everything you need to build a standard 3D printer, and with the expansion piggy this is the most complete solution for complex 3D printer.

It is based on the 32 bit Cortex M3 ATSAM3X8EA microcontroller (Arduino Due CPU). This represents a big step towards greater computing power, compared to the existing solution based on 8 bit mcu. This product is well suited for any kind of 3D printer, and is the ideal solution for Delta models, requiring more complex computation.
