Description
MKS SBASE V1.3 is the latest motherboard for 3D Printer. It is based on the ARM platform and uses 32bit 100M Cortex-MS MCU-LPC1768.
Differences Compared to MKS SBASE V1.0 and V1.2:
- Fixed temperature tracking and reading problems.
- Added thermocouple pins (Note: Cannot be used simultaneously with 12864 LCD).
- Exposed extended pins (P1.22, P1.23, P2.12, P2.11, P4.28) for future custom development.
- Extended 3.3V / 5V power options specifically for endstops.
- Preassembled with two large, high-efficiency heatsinks for superior thermal management.
Note: Stepper motors with wires are not included. MKS SBASE only supports TFT series and LCD12864 displays (does not support 2004 or OLED displays).
Key Features
- High-Performance 32-Bit MCU: Powered by a 32-bit 100MHz ARM Cortex-M3 LPC1768 processor for vastly improved operational speed.
- Smoothieware Compatibility: Fully supports highly modular open-source Smoothieware firmware, facilitating easy secondary development.
- Network Remote Control: Built-in network functions allow seamless remote monitoring and control via standard web browsers (IE Explorer).
- DRV8825 Stepper Drivers: Features onboard DRV8825 drivers supporting 32 micro-steps with excellent thermal performance.
- Direct Current Regulation: Stepper motor currents can be set directly via software/board configuration to prevent hardware damage.
- Multi-Layer PCB Design: Built using high-quality FR-4 4-layer PCB with specialized thermal layout routing for cooling.
- Professional Power Architecture: Utilizes professional-grade power management chips supporting wide 12V-24V DC input.
- Display Support: Optimized to work smoothly with LCD12864 displays and MKS TFT touch screens.
Benefits
- Lightning-Fast Processing: 32-bit architecture eliminates bottlenecks during high-speed, high-resolution printing tasks.
- Enhanced Thermal Reliability: Dual preassembled heatsinks and 4-layer copper routing prevent overheating during long print cycles.
- Flexible Customization: Open-source firmware and exposed breakout pins offer endless expansion possibilities for developers and makers.
Applications
- Custom & Industrial 3D Printers: High-performance motherboard upgrade for FDM 3D printing rigs.
- CNC Prototyping Machines: Smooth motion control platform for small-scale desktop CNC routers and engravers.
- Open-Source Hardware Development: Ideal experimental board for robotics and automation projects utilizing Smoothieware.
