Put one of these on my sells mendel to replace the gen6 that I have been fighting with for a while. It runs great now! In Marlin/Sprinter choose board 62 for sanguinololu and you will be good to go. I got 4 more of these too, for printer kits to ship out and I suspect I may be ordering many more. I definitely suggest getting these

Great controller at 1/2 the price of the other similar solutions out there. I've just finished building my second Ord Bot with this guy, and it's been so easy to work with. With my old RAMPS set-up, I had to use an external relay to power my heated bed, this thing handles it no problemo, and the mosfet doesn't even get warm.
All the little connectors and goodies that you need to hook this thing up are included. It's an amazing product and an amazing price.
If you're building a 3d printer, there's absolutely zero reason you shouldn't use one of these.

Excellent inexpensive electronics

This is a really nice little electronics package. Compact and inexpensive like a Sanguinololu, but comes mostly assembled and includes a few more features, like the PWM fan control and the blade fuse. I've got this on a Prusa and it works like a charm, and it drives the motors more quietly than the old Sanguinololu electronics did, too.

Excellent 3D printer controller

I have this board running for the last couple of weeks and I have thrown all kinds of prints through this controller. From simple test/calibration prints in PLA up to 7.5 hours prints. Also have been running 3mm ABS on a 0.35 nozzle for longer prints. Even having the Hotbed running at 125C didn't bother the controller.
This is the first board I've had running without any additional external cooling!!
One thing to keep in mind that you really need to tune the stepstick or pololu drivers down on there pots.. I took my drivers from a Ramps board and somehow the drivers are more powerful. I now have loads of room left on my stepper controller, more then I had on my Ramps 1.4.
The build quality is excellent and easy to integrate with your 3D printer. All connectors are easy accessible and tidy. Select motherboard as #62 and you are set to do the calibration. (Marlin)
This controller is a perfect and easy to use controller for your 3D printer project ..
