Look what the USPS fairy brought me. Thanks +Roy Cortes (Panucatt).
Everyone stay tuned. I’ll be giving a review on this bad boy soon!
More information please, like what board is it, who makes it.
why 8 pololus?
This is the azteeg x3 pro from Panucatt.com
Uses a4988 or drv8825 stepper drivers, has blade fuses, and has 8- AXIS!!! Marlin and repetier are supported.
thank you.
It is a future proof board for the adventurous at heart. Like those willing to pioneer c,m,y,k,w mixing and multiple nozzle hotends. or for adding other axis to CNC machines.
Oh yeah, Why not?
oh yeah accepts 12-24v too!
That’s definitely an upgrade to my Panucatt x3. I still really like mine.
8 makes sense. X Y Z and then B W R G B one colour mixing nozzle and two std ones for black and white or a support / special filament like flex or pva.
I’m curious about this board… Are you gonna run DRVs with the digital potentiometers on this board? I want that for production printers.
I plan on running standard pots. once set digipots are really not that useful.
Can’t the X5 be extended like this? It seems the Mega2560 is stressed enough already.
l dunno that’S why I’m doing the review : To increase documentation on the azteeg ×3 pro
@D_Rob “once set digipots are not really that useful”
Digipots can be adjusted, so I don’t understand what you mean.

@Jeff_DeMaagd after tunning how often do you adjust your current?
Zero times, except when I was experimenting with different motors. Even if the current needs to be changed, it’s simple to do.
It nails the current setting with less fuss, less risk and with better accuracy. So even if you don’t see value after setting, I think it’s quite well worth it in the setup.
I mean digipots are not that big of an advantage over standard screw adjustable ones.
It’s simple to turn a screw.
