another ramps vs rumba q..., sorry!
I'm a few days away from ordering either the 10" or 12" i3v. A few days ago..., RAMPS was the only option bundled w/ the 10"..., now the RUMBA choice is available with that kit as well as the 12".
Since this will be my first 3d printer, I could easily be missing something, but...
With a few possible exceptions, the functionality I think I care about is addressed by RAMPS just fine. The only "sexy" mod I'm contemplating that might be impacted is ABL, and that seems at least possible w/ either controller, w/ varying degrees of difficulty.
Some of the exceptions...
- RUMBA can be powered at 24V. Not sure if the table heater can take that, but being able to run w/ a single 24V supply might be nice.
- Does RUMBA have a faster processor, or is it somehow future-proofed better than RAMPS in some way?
- Oh yeah, the graphical display. Really better?
Ultimately, I guess it doesn't really matter. Probably should just go w/ RAMPS first..., since one major advantage of going the reprap/makerfarm route..., I can change it all anytime anyway.
Thoughts? (Thx!)
