Can LinuxCNC do 3d printing?

New, again to CNCLinux.

Just wondering if CNCLinux is any good for 3D printing?

[strike]Hi,
It works! the problem was the Marvell internal network card! Using the realtek card everything works correctly!

PCW and tommylight: if you come in the north of Italy (Val di Non) I will offer you a dinner!
Thank you for help[/strike]

Sorry wrong place...

So, is there a preferred controller board? An examples of a currently build setup? How does CNCLinux handle the extruder?

I'm a strong believer that lcnc is a very good solution.
But for 3D printing i go marlin.

LinuxCNC is the controller, so no controller board is needed as with other printers, but you do need a board with analogue and digital in/out's and preferably step generation, and some small relay or MosFet boards to switch on and off heaters and fans.
There are not many examples of using LinuxCNC for 3D printing but some do exist and there was a pretty big one on youtube but can not find it. Here are some examples:
