@Botio_Kuo I will when I get back. But note that the electronics mount underneath on Eustathios. Also this is a different controller than the X5 mini v3. So it will need to be adjusted.
@Eclsnowman Hello Eric. Has Roy said anything about when his smoothie powered dual extruder board would be released? I am torn on whether I should go with the x3/x3 pro with some SD6128 drivers, or hold out for this mystery board.
The X3 performed on my printer amazingly for years. You won’t go wrong with it.
That said, if it were me and wanted to push the printer to its limits… I would wait. This smoothieware based controller made by @Roy_Cortes is a thing of beauty. But release dates are not for me to discuss. Roy has mentioned a few tidbits about what he is thinking… but that information should come from Roy, not me.
I will say though, this controller and his driver’s are giving me some of the best looking prints I have ever produced on my HercuLien. And that is with much tuning still to go.
Okay. I was just curious. I’m starting an internship with NSK international and I’m building them a new printer for their prototyping lab. I have the x5 mini v2 for my printer and its been amazing. Thanks for the info though!
@Blake_Dunham no problem. Also perhaps hit up Roy at sales@panucatt.com and see what he has to say. He is an amazing guy, totally friendly and helpful.
@Eclsnowman also, is it possible to go higher than 1/32 microstepping with the x3?
@Blake_Dunham not reliably. You will start taxing the printer processor at higher print speeds. That’s why the 32bit smoothieware controller Roy is making is so nice. You can finally use those higher microstep drivers.
@Eclsnowman I emailed roy about getting a board. He said he should be able to send me a prototype board to start playing around with. Did roy happen to give you a spec sheet for the new board that I could look at?
@Blake_Dunham nope no spec sheet. That’s what testing prototypes is all about 
@Eclsnowman Well spec sheet as in basic input voltages and such
I run at 24v, I know it works with that
@Eclsnowman Can you give what overall size of the board is and the mounting hole spacing?
@Eclsnowman Hey Eric, Roy sent me over a prototype board, were you able to get the led’s and buzzer for the control panel working?
@Blake_Dunham To be honest… no. But I didn’t spend much time on trying. Most of the time I control my printers from Octoprint anyway. But I always like to have an LCD for those… OH CRAP moments when a reset button is handy
Yeah I always make sure to have the reset button exposed and somewhere easy to get to. Everything else on the board seems to be working fine except for the lcd. The lights for the button flash constantly and it looks like it isn’t displaying a line of text for some reason.
