    Would love this for my custom mash-up cnc machine. Acme drive/Rack N Pinion, 1000mm - 1500mm. My first build, so far 8 months work, 2 redesigns. Nearly complete!

    So I want it to place on my current printer to upgrade it. Then move the ramps from that machine to a "made from harvested parts" printer. As many of the parts have come from old scanners and printers as possible..

    I would use it for my old, slow, but reliable self-designed corexy bigfoot printer.

    Starting to design my first Cartesian Style CNC, a Smoothieboard would be great way to control it. The Smoothieboard board is my top choice to run my C-beam machine.

    I've built a massive 1.5m x 2m cnc router table, but the ramps board im using at the moment is just not cutting it.

    Moving on from the Shapeoko i am planning on building a new CNC router and this would be a great board to try for the motion control.

    This sexy beast would be going into my first router build a hybrid cbeam plate-maker / laser engraver. I've been eyeing the smoothieboard because of it's simplicity and noob friendly setup.

    I would use the Smoothieboard to build a larger version of my Reach 3d printer.

    I would use it either on my current machine a Core-XY DIY or for my son who has recently decided that he wants a 3d printer also. 17 - 1.jpg

    I would use this board for my Anycubic Delta Plus 3D Printer! Would love to learn all about Smoothieboard and improve every kinematic aspect of the movements about delta printers.

    My generic chinese crap paralell breakout board has started missing steps. This board will replace my failing hardware.

    I think I would want to upgrade my wanhao duplicator 4s with it. It is Cartesian so I should be able to pull the old atamega style board out and upgrade easily. I'd also pull my hotends out and add E3d's instead. I think I could. Maybe even upgrade the stepper motors and increase the speed and auto tramming.

    If I had to do a fresh build with it, I think I'd try for a large format Delta. Kinda like the Tevo Little Monster.

    I would replace the Arduino/CNC Shield on my C Beam XL. Would be perfect to run my new laser engraver.

    This would be like letting a kid loose in a candy store ...

    I'd design and build a laser/engraver with a 4th rotating axis for crazy capability. I'd reserve the 5th stepper driver for future enhancement - I'm sure that something would come up once the machine was running!

    I want to build a giant over sized delta and would love the speed of a smoothie for the delta calculations. Or even to convert my shapeoko to a smoothie.

    Have been dreaming in buying a smoothie board to use it on the prusa i3 clone, due to the ramps and the anet boards stops quite often don't know why with a any complicated geometries.
    and i have wasted about 2 spools because of them

    I'm currently working on a 300x300 D-Bot printer that this would make a fantastic upgrade for.
