Re: Rumba upgrade

Accusedmonk- I also wanted longer cables for the controller so I made a thread a little while back on the reprap forums asking about this.  Here it is:

There seems to be conflicting opinions on whether this is possible, even with a shielded cable.  Here is the ebay auction where you can get them:

I just ordered them, I'll let you know how they work out.  Also, if your goal is printing without a PC, you can also hook up a tablet and print from that if you download the app.  I'm not sure why this is not used more often, it is great.  Discussed here:

Re: Rumba upgrade

Thanks, it might come down to me wanting to move my board to the back again.  In the mean time I'm going to try and get the wiring i have as neat as possible and just mount everything up front

Re: Rumba upgrade

I used standard 40pin bulk ribbon cable (for IDE drives) that I stripped down to size. I mounted the LCD panel on the front right corner of my SD3, and I needed 36" long cables.  It works just fine.

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods,  Printrbot Simple Maker Ed.,  FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.
