Episode 496: Compute Module 4 Powered 3D Printer Board

Compute Module 4 Powered 3D Printer Board

element14 Presents | MAYER MAKES VCP Profile | Project Videos

We asked Clem to do something simple..so he went over the top again. In this episode, Clem leverages on the Raspberry Pi Compute Modules Form factor and Power to integrate it on a 3d printer / CNC / PNP mainboard, tightly packed with Trinamic Stepper drivers and two (!!) real-time processors! that allow him to take direct control over the machines inputs and process it on the Fly! Someone should drag him out into the daylight soon. We want your input for further development!

Would love to see Klipper installed, with FluidPi on top of it.
With Voron CoreXY using the same amount of steppers this would be an awesome team up.
It's like the perfect fit !!!

This could be just the thing for my mini milling machine that's been stuck in a corner for...years....

Gonna keep tabs to see how it turns out!

Hi Oleg, I'm currently busy with other projects for Element14presents.
We are collecting ideas from people here in this Thread and I try to implement the suggestions when I get to build the next version.
I don't understand that sentence:
And will it be possible to implement this board in a ready-made 3D printer instead of a regular one?

But I guess you want to know if you could put the board in any normal 3d printer. Once the design is finished you can basically swap out the original board of your 3d printer for mine.

Hi Clem! How are you doing with the project?
I was just wondering. And will it be possible to implement this board in a ready-made 3D printer instead of a regular one?

I believe in your strength and I am sure that you will succeed! I will be very happy to see the continuation of the project. If it is still in the public domain as it is now, there is no limit to my happiness! I really want to repeat it!
