Description
Centauri Carbon 2 Extruder Communication PCB 50.204.0297
This board is the "brain" of the print head assembly. It acts as a central junction box that manages data and power distribution for the various components housed in the extruder.
Key Functions & Features
Signal Routing: It bridges the connection between the printer's mainboard and the toolhead components using a single high-bandwidth ribbon cable (often USB-C style).
Component Hub: It provides plug-and-play ports for:
The Extruder Stepper Motor (filament feeding).
Hotend Heater & Thermistor (heating and temp sensing).
Cooling Fans (both the heat break fan and the part cooling fan).
Leveling Sensors (the strain gauge or inductive probe).
Maintenance: It is designed to be user-replaceable so that if a single connector fails, you don't have to replace the entire wiring loom of the printer.
