Alternate Electronics

One of the goals of our program is gaining the ability to produce RepRaps to distribute to other groups at the university. To do this we need to bring build costs as low as possible. To this end, we are researching alternate electronics systems in hopes of finding one which we can produce ourselves, without needing to purchase kits or completed boards from third parties. This section serves as an index for that research.

Requirements

  • Heated bed support
  • Multiple head support
  • Themistors
  • 2 Z motors
  • protected outputs

Would be nice

  • High step count
  • SD Card support
  • Control panel (computerless)

Repairs and Modifications

As we continue to maintain our existing machines, we will undoubtedly need to repair and modify their electronics. This section will document our efforts in this area.
