Topic: Solidoodle 3 Motherboard Replacement?

So, out of the blue, my solidoodle 3, which has function without flaw for the past 4 years, is no longer recognized by my computer. I tried various computers and usb cables with no luck. I suspect the usb port on the Motherboard is fried. Anyone have a link to a replacement mobo? I've scoured online for awhile, haven't been able to find one.

Re: Solidoodle 3 Motherboard Replacement?

the ramps 1.4 is a decent cheap replacment. then if you want a really good one one the other end of the price scale you have the duet wifi. I have both boards on an SD4 and they work great

Still a Rumba fan here... have a couple of SD4s running on them - no problems, easy swap over, a lot more robust than the Ramps boards...

other than that, I would probably go with the Duet WiFi...

SD4 #1 & #2 - Lawsy carriages, E3D v6, Rumba controller board, mirror bed plate, X motor fan, upgraded PSU & Mica bed heater
SD4 #3 - in the works ~ Folgertech FT-5, rev 1
