High Voltage 3D Printer Control Board

May 2021 - December 2022 | https://github.com/wszeto9/Jubilee-PCB-Klipper-HV

What?

  • Designed PCB to Control 3D Printer electronics at up to 60V

  • Significantly increase the speed of 3D printers by overcoming the back-EMF issues with when running stepper motors at high speeds

How?

  • Used KiCAD to lay out a custom PCB

  • Connected with Asian suppliers to source components that are in stock and fit the design needs

  • Outsourced SMT Assembly and built connections with factories


Results

  • All output ports were able to output 60V safely

  • Controlled a 3D printer to move at 1m/s @ 50 m/s^2 acceleration

  • Gif is in realtime!
