By any chance, did you see any code that supports an LCD or a rotary encoder? I'm gonna check if the source code is available at the SD page.

Rumba is more expensive making me believe it has better components also looks like it will take less space since it doesn't need the mega.

Also I see the mobo for the SD4 has a micro SD card sloth, seems like a waste of parts to have it and not use it, hard to believe that the hardware designer had no intentions to make the printer work by itself without the need of a PC.

I have looked on other threads but the motherboard shown is the previous one, the one I have uses SMD microcontroller, but I see it has 2 14 pin expansion.
