Can LinuxCNC do 3d printing?

New, again to CNCLinux.

Just wondering if CNCLinux is any good for 3D printing?

Hi,
It works! the problem was the Marvell internal network card! Using the realtek card everything works correctly!

PCW and tommylight: if you come in the north of Italy (Val di Non) I will offer you a dinner!
Thank you for help

Sorry wrong place...

So, is there a preferred controller board? An examples of a currently build setup? How does CNCLinux handle the extruder?

I'm a strong believer that lcnc is a very good solution.
But for 3D printing i go marlin.

I am currently have a Duet 3d controller board Duet 3. (Also, FastBot, and Replicate - BeagleBone.)

But I am running into issues. I have used the Gecko G540 4-axis driver controller board from my CNC router and CNC mill. Both use CNCLinux.

But, 3d printer board run differently (1:30 minutes in to the follow video):


The big different between CNC and 3D printing is the heat controller for the extruder and heat controller for the heat bed. Everything else is the same.

So, no off the self controller board for 3d printing on CNCLinux?

Also, how close are we for a Raspberry Pi 4 computer running CNCLinux? Need to update computer for router and mill.

My big disappointment with the Duet 3 is no warranty. You short a driver and you are out $300 usd.

Thank you tommylight for the useful links on the Raspberry Pi 4.

I have also reached out to Geckodrive. From their promotion video it seems their G540 can be used for 3d printing.
