Voron Leviathan

Voron Leviathan is collaboration between JNP and the team at LDO to create a controller board specific for the needs of Voron 3D printers. It features:

  • STM32H743 Microcontroller at 480Mhz clock speed.
  • Reverse polarity protection for main power supply and HV Stepper supply input
  • Superior stepper driver cooling (passive)
  • Dedicated mounting space for a Raspberry Pi 3,4,5 or Zero 2W
  • Dedicated power supply and uart port for Raspberry Pi
  • 5x Integrated TMC2209 stepper drivers.
  • 2x Integrated 48V rated TMC5160 stepper drivers.
  • 4x Fan ports with flyback protection, 5V/24V selectable voltage, and tachometer inputs.
  • 4x Thermistor ports with 2k2 ohm pullup resistors.
  • 1x Dedicated LED strip with flicker free dimming down to 1%.
  • 1x Neopixel port.
  • 1x Hotend power output up to 180W.
  • 1x Hotbed power output up to 240W
  • 1x Dedicated Z probe port with selectable voltage and integrated diode.
  • 3x Endstop ports and a filament sensor port

Questions

How big is the Leviathan V1.3 PCB?

It measures 170 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Leviathan V1.3 use?

420 parts, built around the 74LVC1G17GW, TMC2209-LA-T, MCP1416-E/OT and SIZ270DT. 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 Leviathan V1.3 KiCad files?

From the MotorDynamicsLab/Leviathan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/V1.3/Leviathan_V1.3.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/V1.2/Leviathan.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Leviathan V1.3 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
