I bought a Chinese heat press for T-Shirts and the control box took a crap. So I did a little digging and found I could use a MKS Gen-L or equivalent mounted main board to control the heat press. I just had to change the Firmware to use the 200k Thermistor for the bed and purchase a few extra parts like a.

Print the back plate and transfer it to a piece of metal as a template to act as a heat sink or the SSR will melt through the box. If you need more help please feel free to comment. Also when printing, if you print with the screen side down the supports will be optional with the correct printer settings
