3D Printer Main Control Panel Generation 6 Electronics Control Board Motherboard Gen6 Sunhokey
Description:
Generation 6, or Gen6, can be described as a dedicated, Plug-&-Play, single board solution for FFF/FDM 3D Printers. It is designed to be professionally manufactured, with many small surface mount components, as opposed to Generation 7 which is designed to be printed on a Mendel(among other design goals).
Another major difference with other Gen6 electronics is that they use Texas Instruments DRV8811 chips to drive the stepper motors. This means they require firmware modifications from the normal Polulu-based electronics which use Allegro A4983 chips
- These electronics are a single board solution, so you don't need all those cables and one thick sheet and 4 reprap parts less.
- The bottom thick sheet (big one) does not add much rigidity, the front one is used for stiffness of the frame, not the bottom one.
- It has a standard USB connection (USB A>B cable needed)
- It uses micro-stepping (1/8) for quieter operation.
- It is cheaper than for example Makerbot\'s version of the RepRap Generation 3 electronics.
- It uses small standard Molex connectors for motors, heater, and optos.
- The pcb of the optos are integrated, so you only need the optos on cables with 5way Molex connectors
