- Controller board will be Smoothieboard 5XC with additional stepper drivers
- Why? Smoothieboard works with current reprap hosts, 3d printer G-code, has Delta auto-calibration, is in a single kit, and is very easy to configure without learning Linux
- This means I am no longer pursuing the Beaglebone Black - CRAMPS + CRAMP3 setup
- 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 will be the control panel
- This will replace the 9" resistive touch panel to control the board
- I can now use octoprint and print2peer etc to operate the machine
- As of now I'll need to wire up more stepper drivers to operate the 3d printer to use multiple filaments
- The E3D has problems with retracting out that far making clogging a huge issue because of stringiness, so I must combat that problems so only 2 extruders for now
- Belts will not run in the channel but rather behind the extrusions out of sight
- The extrusions now will be 2020 V-slot build or 2040 V-slot Wolfstock derivative
That's all for now!
