# Huvud 3D Printer toolhead board
A very small 3D printer board for use on a toolhead. It is designed to be used with Klipper firmware.
A very small 3D printer board for use on a direct drive toolhead. It is designed to be used with Klipper firmware.
Klipper has the awesome feature to be able to use multiple MCUs connected to the host over a (relatively) high latency connection. Using CAN bus it is possible to chain many small board using just a pair of twisted wires and power. A good solution for multiple head 3D printers.

Features:
* TMC2209 stepper driver
* STM32F103 72Mhz MCU
* CAN bus.
* One TMC2209 stepper driver for the extruder
* Two MOSFET drivers fans
* One bigger MOSFET driver for a hotend heater
* Thermistor input
* One endstop
* CAN bus
* USB
* STM32F103 72Mhz MCU
* USB, for flashing firmware
Main power is 12-24V. 24V is preferred to keep the currents low
All done in KiCad and open source.
Change ideas:
* Find a better heater mosfet, our 3.3V Vgs is on the low side for that chip.
If you are interesting in helping out, testing or eventually using this board feel free to contact me at glpontus@gmail.com.

I'll very soon order another 20-30 board to send out to brave beta testers.

Ready to manufacture some more prototypes
Among many small tweaks the heater mosfet is changed to a different one with better Rds at 3.3V Vgs. If I limit the board to 24V and a 40W heater it could use the same small mosfet as for the fans.
Unfortunately JLCPCB are out of TMC2209 so I'll have to find a different prototype house that has them available. Perhaps one with 2oz outer copper layers for better thermals.
CAN bus is surprisingly robust. I have tested it through a 50m roll of ethernat cable, various sketchy test setups with star networks, breadboards, close to EMC sources etc. It always works. The Bosch engineers did a good job almost 40 years ago.

With some more thought put into it I think it will be a good complement to the Huvud tool board.
