So, due to makerbot being, well, makerbot.. I am ditching their platform altogether and turning the printer into a reprap. Think I want a better board than arduino/ramps for the 2x, but only have experience with it and Rambo. I've heard great things about smoothie but really don't know what to buy. Would like it to run marlin though. Am not going to reuse the power brick either, and want a fairly small one.
So, need help choosing two components:
1. Controller board.
2. PSU (something small like
this but a good one)
Oh, and I want new stepper cables if you know a good place to get those. On the makebot they are 4 pin steppers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you need some help, or don't understand what I just said, feel free to send me a PM anytime
