Klipper Toolboard

A very small 3D printer board for use on a toolhead. So far it is totally untested and most likely does not work.

Image of Board

Features:

  • TMC2209 driver
  • ATmega168
  • Two small MOSFET drivers for fans
  • One big MOSFET driver for a hotend heater
  • Thermistor input
  • One servo
  • One endstop

It should be fed from the mainboard with 12-24V, 5V, GND, UART RX and UART TX.

Possible issues:

  • Is the cooling for the TMC2209 adequate? Go 4-layer?
  • How well will the UART cmos/ttl level survive? Noise?
  • Does it work

Alternative design options:

  • Use an ARM instead? STM32F030
  • Create a local 5V/3.3V instead? Switch regulator + LDO. Only the servo needs 5V
  • USB-c would be neat, it could provide all the power and signalling needed

Production: Is can be manufactured by JLCBCP, they have all the components (except connectors). The cost for a 10pcs including components and manufacturing is about $90.
