Looking to upgrade? Get that board instead.) (If you are reading this in 2020 (or later) the C3D Mini has been replaced by the improved C3D LaserBoard. If I get time I’ll try to shoot a few new photos or do some illustrations. Some of the photos are terrible (sorry about that!) but hopefully I can explain things in text.

I’ll do my best to walk through the process with this post. I replaced the existing Full Spectrum controller with a Cohesion3D Mini controller. Note that it is all the same hole patterns as the stock board it replaces and all the connectors for the cables used in this machine are available.I just completed the “upgrade” of a Full Spectrum 4th Generation Series 40w Hobby Laser. 'Aztec Chief' Printout was also done on this machine and installation.Ĭohesion3D Mini installed in a K40 Laser Cutter.

Kill button and header to use external kill button.Ĭohesion3D Mini in a Delta Printer.

Onboard Switching regulator creates 5v up to 850mA from 12/24v input - allows running without needing to tether to a PC or power the USB port.

LPC1769 running at 120MHz, running stock Smoothie firmware and most pins same as stock config file.

All known connectors to directly hook up to the K40 Laser Cutter, and same mounting hole pattern as the stock board.

Ethernet Expansion via LAN8720 Module, allowing network control via the Smoothie Web Interface.

Expansion Header which allows RepRapDiscount GLCD to be connected via Adapter Board.

2 Thermistor Ports (for example 1 bed and 1 hotend).2 Standard MOSFETs for Hotend and Heated Bed.4 Endstops each protected with a diode buffer, allowing you to use inductive sensors at 12/24 volts directly without any external components required.4 Pololu Style Stepper Driver Sockets capable of supporting A4988, DRV8825, TMC2100 SilentStepStick, and other drivers in the same footprint.The Cohesion3D Mini is a small but powerful board for a single extruder 3D Printer with heated bed, a CNC, and specifically to upgrade the K40 Laser Cutter to the awesome performance of Smoothieware. The Cohesion3D Mini is retired in favor of our new 'laser-focused' Cohesion3D LaserBoard!
