Stand-alone MKS Sbase case

thingiverse

Stand alone case for MKS SBase and various displays. Includes space for smoother boards and bed MOSFETs. This is a large case, 177 x 172 mm. Make sure you can fit it on your bed before attempting to print it. This case is stable enough to stand beside the printer, or as with Denos' case, can be mounted to an extrusion via screw holes on the un-vented side. M3 screws should be used to secure the top to the bottom. All other holes are M4-sized. All versions use the same bottom, a slightly modified version of Denos' case. Multiple tops are available, only one is needed. Modifications to Denos' case include: 1. Screw holes in the bottom of the case have been extended through the bottom and widened slightly. They now fit M4 screws better, and you can use longer screws without popping the stand-offs off the board. 2. A large round hole has been added to the rear of the case to allow the use of a 3/4" split wire loom as strain relief for the wires going to the printer. 3. A locking ring has been added to hold the above split wire loom in place. Not all files are needed for all builds. For example, if you're using just the 12864 Smart controller, you need the bottom, the button, and the top for the 12864 to have a complete case. The button is required for all versions that use the 12864 Smart Controller, but it's not necessary if you're not using this controller. None of the versions that include the Smart Controller offer an option to access its SD card slot. This is intentional. It's recommended to use the Micro SD card in the MKS SBase board instead. Smoothieware can run into SPI issues accessing the Smart Controller's SD card slot, leading to crashes and failed prints. This issue does not apply to the MKS TFT displays, as they do not interface with the MKS SBASE board via SPI. Options for MKS TFT LCDs include a space for the 12864 controller, as it still includes functionality lacking on the MKS TFT displays. All top case options feature a space for a 40mm x 40mm exhaust fan at the top rear. The fan goes on the outside of the case on the combination versions.
