Integrates Marlin & Octoprint into the Raspberry Pi. Improve print speed and smoothness

Standing on the shoulders of giants, there will be more possibilities in the 3D printing world.

This solution uses the high performance of RPi to drive the printer motor directly. It has more potential, e.g integrate the software octopi, add the big lcd to display 3D view later.

What makes it special?

3d printer firmware run on raspberryPi and control printer directly. for increasing print speed and smooth. control 3D printer directly,except the temperature control which is just to maintain the temperature.

1)the GPIO being able to signal at 10+ Mhz for the 2B+ as compared to 8/32bit MCU limit of about 10Khz/200khz for steps. Test results: 3.5Mhz GPIO test on RPi3+ 750Khz run marlin on RPi3+ 2)Real Time linux kernel 3)opensource. 4)it can work with Octoprint in one raspberryPi.

Half cooked, Not reliable. Needs lot of improvement

I purchased this board and tested on my printer.
Updating and flashing firmware is a never-ending process, no proper documentation,
We don't know whether updates and printer necessary settings have flashed to the board or not, it may be working for designers printer
but not with all.
Not recommended, stick to Octoprint if required you better upgrade you printers motherboard to make it usable with Octoprint.

Honest nightmare

If you want a real honest review and none of the faked ones then read this.

Bought this after reading up and github. in principle it sounds amazing, good concept, hardware is well built with lots of IO ports. Good design overall.
Now where this product fails is the software side, unfortunately the main part of it.
I can understand Mark has created a good product, and no doubt is busy developing the product. But unfortunately you cannot have a product without a good functioning software.
Firstly, going into this i didn't expect it to be easy as plug and play. I thought i would support a maker, and at the least get a not so terrible printer controller, but i didn't expect it to not work at all!
I downloaded the released software from github + precompiled image from the link, followed the instruction to the letter.
Now i may not be as smart as mark, but i know my Linux, 3D printer, marlin and a little luck. built numerous 3d printers from scratch with no problem.
But this has been a nightmare, no active forums, no actual answers, no information anywhere. Dont expect it to work straight out of the box. Like literally, you'll have to write your own software from scratch to get this to work. there were some updates recently, but it broke whatever precompiled image it came with.
the forums have little to no replies, None of the issues raised have been solved.

If i were to give you any advice, stick with whatever 32bit board you can get, and use Klipper + Raspberry pi (or whatever SBC). Pi will still do everything, with a lot better community support.

In summary, I bought a very expensive Raspberry pi power supply, atleast it can handle 12-24V. (Unfortunately all pin headers are occupied)

Panda Delta Pi

I'm working on a upgrade off my printer to a Custom one and found this Panda pi
i wired it, work well do what he need to do. Now i have to figure out Marlin and is Delta config
So happy with it and easy to program too with is web config
*note i'm on first attemp on Marlin Software*

Nearly Perfekt

The first shipping got returned by crappy PostNL (problems every time).
Second shipping 5-6 days to my door that was fast.
So i got the V2 version instead of the V1 in the first shipping.

Board looks good, but i think i will re-solder the power terminals they are not sooo straight.

I don't have tested it yet but "its a shield" ;-)
and the documentation is great so it should be no problem on the horizon.

Thanks Mark
