A very small 3D printer board for use on a direct drive toolhead. It is designed to be used with Klipper firmware. Klipper has the awesome feature to be able to use multiple MCUs connected to the host over a (relatively) high latency connection. Using CAN bus it is possible to chain many boards using just a pair of twisted wires and power. A good solution for multiple head 3D printers.
Features:
- CAN bus.
- One TMC2209 stepper driver for the extruder
- Two MOSFETs for fans
- One big MOSFET for the hotend heater
- Thermistor input
- Support for an endstop (or filament runout sensnor)
- STM32F103 72Mhz 32bit ARM MCU
- USB, for flashing firmware
Main power is 12-24V. 24V is preferred to keep the currents low
All done in KiCad and open source.
