Converter Bracket MKS Sbase to Bigtreetech SKR 1.3

thingiverse

Converting the MKS SBASE board's converter bracket to the Bigtreetech SKR 1.3 requires careful planning and execution to ensure a smooth transition. The first step is to identify the specific components that need to be adapted, including the stepper motor drivers, thermistors, and any other peripherals. Begin by disconnecting power from both boards to prevent any accidental shorts or electrical shocks. Next, locate the converter bracket's mounting holes on the MKS SBASE board and carefully mark their positions on the Bigtreetech SKR 1.3 using a marker or pencil. Using a drill press or hand drill, create matching holes in the SKR 1.3's PCB to accommodate the bracket's screws. Apply a small amount of solder paste to the corresponding pads on the SKR 1.3 and carefully insert the new components, ensuring proper alignment and secure connections. Install the stepper motor drivers, thermistors, and any other peripherals according to their specific installation procedures. Connect the converter bracket to the SKR 1.3's mounting holes using screws or clips, making sure they are securely fastened. Double-check all connections for proper seating and secure fastening before reconnecting power to both boards. Plug in the SKR 1.3's USB cable and connect it to a computer running Repetier-Host or other compatible software. Configure the new board by selecting the correct firmware, setting up the printer's communication settings, and calibrating the axes as needed. Test the printer thoroughly to ensure all components are functioning correctly and the converter bracket is securely attached. Once complete, the Bigtreetech SKR 1.3 with the converted MKS SBASE board's converter bracket should be fully operational, ready for use in your 3D printing endeavors.
