Topic: Who has an 2015 issued Solidoodle 4 control board?

I am looking for an original Solidoodle 4 control board (2015 issued),

or latest unmodified Solidoodle 4 printer, if you like to sell it, let me
know the price.

If all you need is a board, have you considered buying a better board like a RAMPS 1.4 or a RUMBA?

Alternatively, Filastruder offers the Duet, which I have heard nothing but great feedback on.

Printit Mason and Printit Horizon printers
Multiple SD2s- Bulldog XL, E3D v5/v6/Lite6, Volcano, Hobb Goblin, Titan, .9 motor, Lawsy carriages, direct Y drive, fishing line...the list goes on
Filawinder and Filastruder #1870.....worth every penny!

agree with above ^

ditch the Printrboard with it's non-replaceable stepper drivers and get something better, easier to setup and maintain.
My personal preference is Rumba, but Ramps 1.4 is pretty good too...

and I am learning about the MKS Gen 1.4 as well with my new FT-5 - seems like a capable board and also fairly easy to set up. Havent had it long enough yet to really recommend it at this point tho.

SD4 #3 - in the works ~ Folgertech FT-5, rev 1

I have one but like others have said, its a piece of crap.  I have flashed new firmware to it.  It always had issues with prints randomly freezing, regardless of several high quality connection cables that I used.  This could be a windows 10 issue.  Anyway, its sitting in a box and if you really want it, you can have it for $15, which will get me like $10 after shipping and this is about my minimum "get out of bed effort".  Really, this board is likely to cause you headaches and there are better options out there.  But its yours if you want it.

SD4 w/ RUMBA, E3D Volcano, all bearings, glass bed

Thanks, I am going to get Rumba or Ramps 1.4,
where I can get a good SPU and heated bed (for printing ABS),
and matched together for the high temp.?

I might be biased as well, but I REALLY like the heat bed that PrintIt offers. so slim and light, yet heats quickly and evenly. I have one on each of my SD4s and love them! They work so well I have actually been able to reduce the bed temp by 10 degrees C with zero adhesion problems (and thinking about dropping it a little more).

the power supply they offer is also quite reliable - I have 2 of those as well (again, one on each of the SD4s) and I have a spare in case I need it for one of my other printers.

I'd buy your Printrboard if you still have it.  I could use a spare. 

My experience has been different than most; I've had consistent good luck with my Printrboard.  I've flashed the firmware for the E3Dv6, added a gcode fan and expansion ports.  The only problems I've had with it have been self-inflicted ( zapped the gcode fan output by accidentally shorting the headers...so I'm now running on my 'spare').

Those would be the ones.  Don't forget to add a cord or be prepared to provide one for the mains side of things.

Re: Who has an 2015 issued Solidoodle 4 control board?

yup, that is the bed - LOVE it! (both of them!) smile

and definitely don't forget the power cord if you need one for the power supply! (you can select it from the drop down menu on the power supply page after adding the power supply to your cart)
