I don't have a ton of experience with custom electronics. I was wondering if it were possible to custom build a RAMPS with more stepper drivers than what is normally there?
This could allow (2) motors per Z axis, (2) motors per X axis, (1) motor per Y axis, and (3), (4), or (5) motors for a multicolor setup.
I have seen newer, more expensive and complex single board alternatives. Keeping it in the DIY realm, and inexpensive, what are the obstacles?
Is this a software problem, instead of a hardware problem? I'm sure others have thought of this as well....
I can't find any custom built examples.... or plans....
Thank you for your feedback.
