BIGTREETECH Manta M8P V2.0 Integrated Control Board 32Bit Running Klipper with CB1, High Speed 3D Printer Silent Motherboard, Compatible TMC5160T Plus,TMC5160,TMC2209,TMC2240 Stepper Driver

The BIGTREETECH Manta M8P V2.0 has been an excellent controller for my 3D printer. I paired it with the BIGTREETECH CB1, and together, they’ve worked flawlessly. Setup in Klipper was straightforward, and the whole system was up and running with minimal effort. The performance has been outstanding, with smooth operation and reliable results on every print. If you’re looking for a powerful, easy-to-configure controller for your 3D printer, this combo is a fantastic choice!

Not easy at all. Cannot get to work. Returning

Unfortunately, these boards are junk if you need more than one USB peripheral, even with a powered USB hub. I build a lot of printers and normally use Octopus and Octopus Pro boards. I took a chance on this Manta with a CB2 without realizing the board only has two USB 2.0 ports, and trying to use a Beacon Probe and a USB camera overwhelms the limited USB bus causing MCU timeouts, despite increasing TRSYNC_TIMEOUT. External Raspberry Pi's also CANNOT be used with the Manta M8P as the USB port to connect to the MCU is hardwired to the CB1/CB2/CM4 interface. I will salvage the CB2 and use it to upgrade a BTT Pad 7. The Manta M8P is going in the trash, it has wasted far too much of my valuable time.

This board is absolutely insane as far as I/O goes. Support for 8 steppers, 4 hotends plus a heatbed, dedicated motor and heatbed power inputs - it's an absolute monstrosity and was a pleasure to work with. I integrated it in a custom portable 3D printer, where it worked flawlessly; I supplied it with +12V for the main power input, and +24V for the heatbed and steppers. Overall, getting Klipper set up and running was trivially easy. I'm knocking a star off for the documentation regarding the CANBUS, though - which is nonexistent. I bought a BigTreeTech Eddy sensor (from the same company) to use on the toolhead over CAN, but could not for the life of me get the CAN interface working. I eventually had to use a third-party guide, since the provided documentation on GitHub doesn't cover it at all. Additionally, the CAN-H and CAN-L pins were backwards compared to the schematic, which cost me several hours of banging my head against a proverbial brick wall. With that being said, I don't know if they are flipped on the Eddy's documentation, or on the M8P's - so I'm not deducting a star for that.

Did not come with CB1, it's significantly cheaper to buy the 2.0 off their actual site standalone. Disappointed. ACTUAL REVIEW OF BOARD: Loovvvee it, bought a CM4 to go with it instead, since it doesn't ship with one. Man this thing is a power house with so much IO and fancy tricks up it's sleeve.
