3D Printer Controller Board RAMPS 1.4 for Arduino Mega Shield
The RAMPS 1.4 3D Printer Controller Board is an all-in-one shield designed to fit essential components for a 3D printer into a single plug-in module for the Arduino MEGA.
This plug-in shield features sockets for stepper drivers and extruder control electronics, allowing for easy servicing, part replacement, upgrades, and expansion. You can also add various Arduino expansion boards, provided the main RAMPS board remains at the top of the stack. RAMPS boards are central to many DIY 3D printers, offering a clean and compact way to integrate all systems into a mountable enclosure.
The RAMPS board functions in conjunction with its motherboard, the Mega 2560, and is compatible with stepper drivers like A4988 and DRV8825. Known for its stability and compatibility with a wide range of 3D printers (including all RepRap models like Prusa i2 and i3), the combination of RAMPS 1.4, MEGA 2560, and A4988/DRV8825 has become a popular choice for DIY 3D printer control systems.
Features
Expandable to control other accessories.
3 Mosfets for heater / fan outputs and 3 thermistor circuits.
Fused at 5A for additional safety and component protection.
Heated bed control with additional 11A fuse.
Shield has on pin header sockets so they can be replaced easily or removed for use in future designs.
I2C and SPI pins left available for future expansion.
All the Mosfets are hooked into PWM pins for versatility.
Servo style connectors are used to connect to the end stops, motors, and LEDs.
These connectors are rated for 3A, very compact, and globally available.
SD Card add on available.
LEDs indicate when heater output on..
Option to connect 2 motors to Z for Prusa Mendel.
