I need fast convertion large CNC router to 3d printer.
CNC is controlled by LPT controller and EMC2 software.
I have an Arduino + ramps1.4 with Marlin and think about to replace 3 stepsticks(x/y/z) with diy adapters wired to LPT to control big drivers.
Also I want to get endstop signals from LPT and connect them to RAMPS.
Will this work?
Extruder driver remains on RAMPS. Wires to head will be long enough - 3-5 meters
Will extruder stepper work?
I expect no problems with termistor and heater wireing.
