Topic: Best open source electronics for 3D printer
I week ago I thought that I burned the Melzi based board in my Malyan M150. I have spent a whole day searching the alternative solutions I found a few that caught my eye, but what I could not find is a some kind of comparative review for the open source electronics. I did not think that I'll be needing a Smothie or a clone of it. I do not think that there is a need for an ARM based solution. When I mentioned ARM, i could not find an answer, is it possible to run Marlin on ARM based board?
The solutions that caught my eye are MakerBase MKS v1.4, Rumba and Megatronics 3.0. All three have similar functionality, all based on Mega 2560, all three can work with at least dual extruder setup. Based on appearance I like the Rumba most, but at the same time I found least information about it. So if anyone has some pointers I'll be very grateful. Klingeltone fur das iPhone
The other question is about China suppliers. While searching, on the RepRap wiki, as the author of Rumba is RepRapDiscount mentioned. It's a Chinese shop which lists Rumba for $80, and the Bigtreetech (BIQU) shop @AliExpress has the same board for almost half the price. As someone who uses various other electronics (sensors and ESP8266 boards) made by BIQU I know that they make quality products, so is there any real reason to buy Rumba from RepRapDiscount (other then to support the R&D)?
Do not get me wrong, I understand the R&D and will buy original E3D V6 hot end kit, maybe even with the Titan extruder, but on the matter of electronics, when both suppliers are from China I am confused.
