Hartk Stealthburner PCB, 1 piece or 2?

[Sir_Eric]

What are the advantages to each? or is there a clear winner?

or are we still in a holding pattern, waiting on the final release of the Steathburner?

I like the 2 piece; even though I am not constantly removing the fan shroud.

But if I do, I have each time a grin in my face because I don’t have to unplug any wires.

Next step would be a kind of pin-plug for the hotend and thermistor; these plugs now getting on my nerves with the fan shroud unplugging so easy.

The advantage of the two piece is that the cooling shroud comes off without having to undo several connectors. I think the advantage of the one piece is simplicity. I ordered the two piece, because my resolve to wait until Stealthburner is released is quickly fading…

 Thanks for the replies. I was already leaning to the 2 piece since it is purple. But the ease of removing the shroud seals the deal.

Technically it's a holding pattern. But that said, the mount locations for the PCB were specifically designed in to the SB/CW2 a while ago. I'm liking the look of how the 2 piece works, removing those connections for the SB fan shroud is annoying.

Btw, @Sir_Erickeep an eye on that baby, it looks like it's about to crawl off the bench.

Yea, she is perched kind of precariously on my computer. If she is running fast I keep a hand on her. LOL

Does anyone have or know of any photos of breakout PCBs mounted on a CW2 SB? I'm building a SW and want to see how it fits.
