For those interested in learning more about 3D printer controller boards, one of our community members wrote on 4 Interesting 3D Printer Controller Boards. Check out his experience with the Smoothieboard, Azteeg x5 mini Version 2, Beagle Bone, and Arduino Due (with RADDS shield)! Feel free to let us know about your own experience with different controller boards as well.

Not on the list is the Reprap Duet board , the best by far, shame you can barely find them to buy

Chitu V3.6 Printer controller boards


3D printer's Controller boards are the brains of your 3D printer, and their processing power determines how nice or how detailed


your finished prints will be. Chitu V3.6 Printer controller boards are expanding to include boards with more features that allow for


higher resolution through microstepping. She provides on-board wifi, SD card, USB, Internet. There's also more powerful processors


for complex calculations, and Chitu V3.6 boards can run her own operating system ucos II .


The Chitu V3.6 based boards with an 32-bit processor.


Many of the features that Delta owners are used to like Delta calibration and endstop offset, Cartesian printer were supported.
Hopefully the developers also allow more ways for users to customize their printer profiles for advanced users with more G code support.
