The extra pins look to be right at the power connector but it is hard to tell from that photo.

Thanks.

Which are the additional power taps? The ones named "EXP1" and "EXP2" in this photo?

Better buy one which has those as pins so I will be able to just plug and not cut and solder anything.

I guess which Revision it is doesn't matter?

That links to a REV C and I don't see the extra power taps.  I would ask support at printerbot  for a schematic of that board.

And this looks nice, too bad only says it compatible with Rev D. http://printrbot.com/shop/power-dongle/

I also found a printrboard on ebay but it doesn't specify what revision it is.

If the power connector is different size/type, that isn't an issue for me.
So is the microUSB port instead of D.
Every other difference might matter.

Obviously Solidoodle is based on it, but like the page says there are few differences, which I've reposted here. I don't understand what the differences listed are and what they change, that is why I made this topic.

Again, this wiki pages talks about their differences: wiki.solidoodle.com/update-firmware
The stock one is called "Solidoodle Rev E" and the other one "Printrboard Rev E".
printrbot store only has Rev F.
