Selection Guide

Key Considerations

Consideration Details
Space Constraints Fit within the toolhead space
Weight Constraints The more weight you have on your toolhead the more weight you need to accelerate and decelerate every time your printer moves, that means migger vibrations, worse resonance, and slower printing.
## Feature Requirements Match needed functionalities
MCU Compatibility Ensure board-MCU communication
Wiring Preferences Choose connector and cable style
