So I’ve got one of the Rev. A and one of the Rev. B Replicapes on the way (after production issues get worked out, of course).

And then I went ahead and ordered a diamond hotend. So now I need six stepper drivers. If this had gone anywhere, it would have been overkill. But I don’t see a review post, so I suspect that it got shelved.

I don’t need everything that this provides. All I need is one more stepper driver.

In reply to John. John, all steppers will be driven by the pru. There is no difference in speed.

Would it be possible to drive a six degree of freedom mechanism like a Stuart/Gough platform or Sextupteron with the Reach, or would the drivers for the Reach steppers be too slow compared to the ones driven by the PRUs?
