    The document outlines the electronics for a 3D printer, including using a Megatronics microcontroller board that supports up to 6 stepper drivers, an LCD and keypad for control, and currently using A4988 stepper drivers to move the motors. Future plans include completing the wiring and testing motor movement.

    ELECTRONICS FOR 3D

    PRINTER

    1. Microcontroller
    2. Peripherals
    3. Stepper Drivers
    4. Wiring
    5. Future Plans

    Microcontroller
    Initial plan is to use to Arduino Mega, however after
    further discussion using Megatronics is much better.
    Megatronics use Arduino IDE software for coding.
    Advantages:
    i.
    ii.
    iii.
    iv.

    One board solution


    Can support up to 6 stepper drivers
    SD card slot
    Can support LCD and keypad

    PERIPHERALS (LCD & KEYPAD)


    Control interface of the printer using LCD and keypad.
    Control movement of the axes, temperature (if needed).

    STEPPER DRIVERS
    Currently using the A4988 stepper driver (with heatsink)
    to drive the motors.
    Current and step resolutions (up to 1/16-step) can be
    adjusted.
    Other alternatives; DRV8825 (finer steps, up to 1/32step).

    WIRING

    FUTURE PLANS
    Complete the wiring of all the components (motor,
    endstops) onto the Megatronics.
    Consult with electrician about the safety of the
    connection.
    Test the movement of the printer.
