Description

Introduction to "SmartPrintCoreH7x",

featured as the trailblazer in open source 3D printing hardware by 3Dprint.com, This Open Source high-performance 3D printer mainboard features reliable TI bucks and new locking Molex connectors standards, designed for both hobbyists and industrial machines. I will explain why this board is essential for the open-source 3D printing community as more companies move towards closed-source solutions. Open hardware is crucial for keeping our hobby accessible and innovative.

Additionally, I will discuss the vision of Boltz R&D and my upcoming projects like SPC Extravaganza (expansion modules) and SP3C companion boards, along with other advanced boards featuring new connection and interface standards that'll definitely set new standards for the future of all 3D printing hardware. The best part is, all these projects will remain open source, forever.

I will also share my business plan on how I intend to commercialize and scale these projects, allowing me to focus on them full-time.
