FT-5 R2 Mod 01 - SKR 1.3 Controller Adapter (from Makerbase MKS Gen V1.4)

thingiverse

Adapter Mount so you can use the SKR 1.3 controller board on an FT-5 R2 without drilling any holes. My FT-5 R2 came with a Makerbase MKS Gen V1.4, so this should work for any printer with this same controller. Two versions of the mount adapters: Straight - the same position vertically as the original controller board - print two parts out, one for each side. Dropped - where the SKR 1.3 board is lowered by 10mm vertically - this eliminates the tight bend the USB extension cable makes at the top; there's a left and right version or swap them to raise the controller board by 10mm. Each variant comes in a 10mm and 15mm version, which is the distance from the mounting surface to the bottom of the SKR 1.3 controller board. I created the 15mm version in case someone wants to put heat sinks on the bottom of the controller board for the power MOSFETs. Using m3 machine screws with or without nuts is the last variation. I ended up using the no nuts version in my machine - simpler! On the No Nuts version, drill out the holes with a 2.5mm drill bit to make it easier to start the m3 machine screws; use an M3 tap to start threading the holes. Don't need to thread the whole way through the holes, just a few starting threads are enough. I used M3x10mm to mount the SKR 1.3 Board to the mount adapters and M3x12mm to mount the adapters to the FT-5.
