Easy to Install "Hot" toolhead board

Been waiting for a while on this LDO toolhead board. It's by far the easiest Klipper install I've had to date with any toolhead board.
It has a large heatsink and that might be the 1st warning sign. This board runs hot. My 2.4 is well sealed and can reach 60c passively on long prints. On those same long prints, I've had the board sensor report 98c and it begins skipping because it dynamically reduces current to the stepper. I've resorted to actively cooling the board with a 25mm fan. It helps but on the long prints, it still gets hot. By default, the motor current is 0.85a. I've reduced to 0.65a. That also helped a little but at the cost of slowing down just a bit. Not a bad thing unless speed is your jam.
I highly recommend for an open-air build but if you have an enclosed printer where the chamber temp gets above 55c, just be aware you may have to resort to additional steps to keep it cool.
One other thing, the umbilical is well made but it could stand to be a little stiffer. It'll easily flop around, especially in a warm chamber. I used a piece of spring steel wire to stiffen it up and that worked perfectly. Helped with input shaping graphs as well.

Description

You asked, and it's here! A PCB optimized for Orbiter featuring the orbiter sensor, accelerometer for input shaping, a TMC2209 stepper driver all with USB communication - it's kind of nice.

Should a tool-board magic smoke come out because of user error? Why?

Should a tool-board be destroyed by a fault in your 3D printer? Why?

The answer is NO! And this is what this tool-board is all about!

We are hobbyists, and let’s face it, we do mistakes, and when the magic smoke shows up everybody is disappointed, even if we know it’s a user fault. In this board, I promise you the magic smoke is kept inside extremely tight!

Some of the main features:

• Optimized for Orbiter v2 and SO3 shape and features including orbiter sensor

• STM32F042 microcontroller running on 48MHz

• Automotive USB communication with Raspberry PI

• Onboard LIS2DW12 accelerometer

• TMC2209 extruder stepper driver

• Direct connection to Orbiter v2 sensor

• PWM controlled fan outputs

• DC-DC converter based Hot-end fan driver, compatible with 12/24V fan types with RPM speed input signal

• Hot-end temperature sensor input compatible with standard NTC or PT1000 temperature sensor types

 

• I/O for bed level sensing

• X-Stop sensor input

• RGB LED driver output

• Onboard temperature sensor

• Advanced thermal management system
