3D Printer Controller Kit RepRap, RAMPS 1.4 + 2560 Board + 5pcs A4988 Stepper Motor Driver with Heatsink + LCD 12864 Graphic Smart Display 3D Printer Controller Kit

Comes with everything you need, and is cheaper than getting most of the parts separately.Note: Make sure to check the direction of the stepper chips! How they look vary according to company and if you are looking at a tutorial that has different ones you may put them in backwards and get the dreaded blue puff of smoke. Double check the pin labels on the chip with where you are plugging them in. I put all of them in backwards, blew the chips, and had to replace all 6 of them. Easily avoided user error.

I used this kit, of sorts, to upgrade my anet a8. I needed this board since it can handle dual extrusion and now my anet a8 has 2 extruders. But really everything in this kit worked fine except one stepper driver was broken from the factory. That one is basically an extra as you only need it if your going to power a 6th motor and most 3d printers only have 5 motors so.

I bought this as a replacement board for a printer I built close to 10 years ago. It doesnt come with any instructions or even hints on how to assemble it. I finally found Edward Bralman on youtube, and his videos were of great help. After taking a day to assemble it everything is working well. The driver seem reasonably quiet unlike what others have posted. This kit is not for beginners.Ultimately I had to spend a lot of time just googling things I needed to set it up and calibrate it. Someone needs to put together a step by step guide even better than the Edward videos, especially if you're selling it you think you would at least be able to point people to these resources so people dont screw this up like you can if you dont know what you're doing and actually blow up the motor drivers as I see others have posted here have done.

Its a pretty typical Reprap Kit. Board quality and solder joints look clean. Loads marlin like it should . Functional and good for the price

To minimize any thought of user error, I am an engineer with a low-voltage license that installs systems in hotels and theme parks - this does not eliminate the possibility of error, but at least shows that I am qualified to assemble a simple CNC controller. That said, there is NO way that any error of mine caused the solder points on these boards to be so poorly made! Solder blobs, cold solder points, and bridging are all problems on this one single board. The manufacturer seems to have absolutely no quality control process. My board caught fire when testing the heated bed - the MOSFET points were blobbed so badly that it arced and shorted one of the highest amperage parts of the board! Many of the header pins are misaligned, and one of the stepper driver potentiometers was mangled.It almost seems used and repackaged... DO NOT BUY THIS! I'm quite surprised Amazon continues to sell this, seeing as how it may very well kill someone.

This is the second kit that I baught. The first one that I baught would not connect to computer. And the processor got super hot and it didn't work. So I have baught a second kit and so far everything is working and I am pleased with this one.

Used this on a 4 axis hot wire machine. Works perfectly.

The, illegal cloned MEGA board supplied with the kit was defective. the plastic screen, which covers the display, was scratched.
