MKS Gen 1.4 Case w/ Fans

thingiverse

This is a modular case that is simple to print as everything is printed flat down, no supports required. You have to glue some parts together. This is to be attached on a 2040 aluminum profile. I used methylene chloride which is like Acetone to ABS. However, it is very toxic, cancerous, and all that bad stuff. Be advised and use at your own risk. Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) will also work. https://www.carolina.com/catalog/detail.jsp?prodId=875970&s_cid=ppc_gl_products&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&scid=scplp875970&sc_intid=875970&gclid=Cj0KCQjws5HlBRDIARIsAOomqA1GdIAEpDCM9TS2gdQm0JuEzR14HkGes45o0EpgLRXc1B2zHfYVn2waAlkKEALw_wcB I am using two drivers, one to control the fans and the other to control the extruder fan and lights. The fans turn on when any motor is activated and off when motors are idle for more than one minute. The extruder fan and lights go on when the extruder temperature is above 50 C and turn off when it's below 50 C. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NQLT0M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These fans have three wires, so you might not need the controller listed below. However, I couldn't get it to work. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QD884C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The features of these controllers are all programmed into Marlin firmware. After printing all the parts, you can screw the MKS board bracket to the 2040 profile and install the electronics. Then glue the two groups of parts together by following the pictures. If you glued them correctly, add the second half to the 2040. The front cover and top+side are snapped in place. I haven't glued those pieces as it makes it easy for maintenance inside the case. I hope these pictures clear up any confusion. If not, send me a comment and I'll respond.
