MKS SBASE Conversion kit for Monoprice Maker Select (Wanhao i3)

thingiverse

This is a conversion kit I'm using to upgrade my Monoprice Maker Select, which is actually a rebranded Wanhao i3. The electronics had failed me at some point and I decided to upgrade to an MKS SBASE, a Smoothieboard clone. The original electronics were a Melzi board. This kit helps with mounting the new electronics and replacing the front and back plate to accommodate feedthroughs and a new gLCD. Additional parts needed: USB Extender: https://amzn.com/B00H8RX780 This is for breaking out the USB gLCD: https://amzn.com/B00THZK5JU Note that the original LCD was really nice, but much higher quality than what I'm linking, and the SBASE doesn't have the header for it. So, going for new electronics. Make sure to read my review. The gLCD sold here has reversed shrouds. MKS SBASE: https://amzn.com/B01FVT5VA8 This is the new electronics we will be mounting. Print: 1x smoothiepanel_spacer.stl : Used between the lcd and the backplate. 1x smoothiepanel.stl : This is where the lcd will mount onto. There is room for the knob and the emergency stop switch. 1x smoothiepanel_REAR.stl : This was redesigned to add a USB port, and shift the power connector. I considered also adding the ethernet port to this panel, but could not find an extender for the usb that didn't obstruct the ethernet port. 2x smoothiepanel_mount.stl : These are 'wings' that will mount to either side of the MKS SBASE board to then fit in the same place that the melzi board was mounted into.
