Detailed Change List

  • Einsy Rambo Motherboard
    • Marlin 2.0 Firmware
    • No longer supports runout sensor
    • Wiring changes to endstops
  • MK52 Heated Bed
    • Thermistor soldered to bed PCB
    • Connector for thermistor wires
    • Screw terminals for power connections
  • 24V Integrated Power Supply
    • System is switched to 24V.
    • PSU is now bolted to the frame in the same position that Prusa uses.
    • Power switch is on the PSU as well as an AC power connector.
    • Spool holder had to be moved. Spool holder is now mounted to the side of the power supply.
  • Pulse HV is switching to 1.75 mm
    • 1.75 mm filament has a higher surface area to volume ratio, so it can be melted faster. Switching to 1.75 also lets us consolidate parts by using the same threaded heat sinks as the v6.
  • Frame changes
    • With the power supply bolted to the frame on the right side and a new frame brace on the left side, the frame is much more rigid. This will improve print quality.
    • New Y carriage to support the new bed
    • Changes to hole alignments to center the bed correctly
    • Moved holes to center Y idler mount
  • Buildtak Flexplate has been dropped in favor of the MatterHackers Magbase
  • New all in one wiring harness on hot end (previously used on some D series printers)
  • Some component changes to support different voltages
    • 24V Heater cartridge
    • 24V Bed
    • 5V Heat sink fan
    • 5V Layer cooling fan
      • New fan is larger than old one
