Re: press MB

They said they designed their own since it needs to have connections for the print button, extra LEDs, etc.  I doubt they made a new controller board from scratch.  They probably made a derivative of an open source board, for which they will never release the files.

Re: press MB

Do they really need to make a derivative? Even current Printrboard has extra pins.

"The Solidoodle Press uses a completely new 24V board designed to enable one-touch printing. The board utilizes two microprocessors – an AT90USB1286 and a ATTINY2313. The new board provides support for the power button & LED on top of the printer."
