The Chinese modified can worked properly. Firmware support Repetier (due) and Marlin (due).

Hi cxandy,
Thanks for pointing out this new board. I would like to seize this opportunity to explain to you how selling the idea of a new product goes in the RepRap world.
Basically, you cannot take the design from an existing open-source product (i.e. RAMPS 1.4), modify it slightly, and sell it as your own design.
You (in other words, the developer or the manufacturer) have to make public both the schematics, Bill-of-Materials and PCB layout (Gerber) files for this new RAMPS-for-Due board.
Yes, there is a risk and even the high probability that another Chinese manufacturer will copy your product and sell it cheaper than you. You will lose market share and you will have to lower your prices.
But, that's how it goes in the RepRap world. There are ways, however, to keep your market leadership, basically by providing proper support and improving your services to your clients.
PM me if you are interested in pursuing this dialogue, as this is really off-topic for this forum.
Thanks,
Andrew
