This project is 3D printer expansion board. Add more fan controllers, TMC2130 wiring support, induction probe voltage convertor, LED lighting (supports WS1812).

This board was designed for best compatibility with MKS GEN L, but is compatible for example with BIGTREETECH SKR 1.1.

Board features

  • Stepdown regulator - from up to 35V to 12V

    • can by bypassed by jumper, if you have 12V power supply by solder jumper
    • minimal volatage for regulator is 15V
    • based on L5973D (up to 2A)
  • Advanced fan controll

    • you can controll up to 8 fans
    • 1 fan is 4 pin, others are 3 pin with additional transistor
    • speed input for fan is from motherboard (EXP_X connectors)
    • one of fans can be used as regulated fan for hotend cooling (temperature dependent cooling)
    • Fan voltage can be selected from , Vin, 12V, 5V via solder bridges
    • Expected fan distibution: 1x Motherboard fan, 2x part cooling fans, 1x hotend cooling fan, 4 fans for other usage (maybe motors)
    • input signal for fans can be chain, one signal can drive more fans
  • Probe connector

    • serve as input from inductive probe
    • Voltage divider, designed as 24V -> 5V
  • TMC2130 wiring

    • helps to keep wiring simple and clean
    • holes in board for simple wiring and better airflow around cables
    • 4 pin connectors
    • if motherboard didn't have enough pins, in Marlin 2.0, can be TMC2130 enabled via SPI, so EN pin for driver can be used as Chip select fro SPI
  • LED light

    • means as print part lighting
    • selectable voltage (5V or 12 V) by solder jumper
  • 5 in one connector

    • Onboard RJ-45 connectors and UTP cable (8-wires)
    • As HUB is used second board mounted on printer head
    • Fans, Led outputs and both outputs (6in1 and separe)
    • Pins:
      • 1x GND, 1x 12V,
      • 3x FAN
      • 1x X Endstop (or 5V Z probe if on hat isn't X endstop)
      • 2x LED lights

Questions

How big is the 3D PrEBo PCB?

It measures 102 × 84 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 3D PrEBo use?

79 parts, built around the L5973D, IRLML2502, PMEG3030EP and 1SMB5925BT3G. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the 3D PrEBo KiCad files?

From the TheColonelYoung/3D_PREBO repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Expansion_board/3D_PrEBo.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 3D PrEBo design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
