I am working on an open source 3-D house printer. One of the issues was the need to use multiple raspberry pi controllers to run each of the two robots that control the y-axis. That was unacceptable so I priced out commercial controllers. They ran between $1500 and $3000, which was unacceptable. The BeagleBone black controller has everything I need and includes a video output for $45.
