The main controller board
The main board is a single sided homemade pcb , it contains all necessary connectors for 3d printer components and it has extra pins for future extensions
i build this board after understanding how the RAMPS shiled works so i rearrange the pins to make the board a single sided pcb

as shown the board can control :
5 stepper drivers
3 heaters
4 fans
4 servos
6 endstops
3 thermistors
lcd with all buttons needed
sd card
and it contains a PS-on pin (to turn on the power supply ) and a serial and i2c connectors for Bluetooth or WiFi modules ,and also it has 15 pins for any additional features to add in future
it has a built in 5v voltage regulator to power all extensions and components except the thermistors that are powered from the arduino mega to keep them accurate .
there is fear of high load components with this board because it only controls other components with no high amps running through it.
