The MKS SKIPR motherboard is an all-in-one board from Makerbase specifically for use with Klipper firmware. It integrates an RK3328 SOC to run Klipper and an STM32F407VET6 MCU to run the 3D printer tasks. This board is configurable for all 3D printers.

Features and advantages: 

  • SOC uses Rock Chip's 4-core Cortex-A53 architecture RK3328 with Armbian system, perfectly running Klipper host
  • MCU uses STM32F407VET6 of Cortex-M4 architecture, 168Mhz main frequency, easy to control various machine actions.
  • Retain the rich interface resources of MKS PI [with 1GBytes of DDR3 memory, support HDMI screen interface, PI-TS35 screen interface, provide wired Ethernet port, 3-way USB interface (can be externally connected to the main control board, USB wireless network card, USB camera, U disk, USB keyboard and mouse, etc.)]
  • Support booting the system from TF card and EMMC module (EMMC module is more stable than TF card, and has faster read and write speed), and provides supporting EMMC burning tools.
  • Support 7-axis stepper drive to meet the requirements of most 3D printer models.
  • 3 independent MP1584PEN DC/DC modules provide a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the entire board circuit.
  • 3-way controllable fans, plus 3-way normally open output, can independently select VIN, 12V or 5V voltage
  • Design Schottky diode protection for MOS circuits and temperature measurement circuits
  • Design the back EMF energy absorption circuit to protect the stepper driver module.
  • The Z+ interface can independently set the voltage selection to adapt to different models of PROBE.

Q&A

What is a 3d printer Controller board for?

The Controller board, also known as the main board or motherboard, are PCBs that read and carry out the gcode by commanding motors and presume better printing experiences with many functions. Today, the most common add-ons by default include filament-run-out sensor, Power-off resume, auto-leveling sensor, expansion ports(12c, SPI, UART, CAN), etc...

What are the major elements of the Controller board?

1)MCU
2)Motor driver (slots)
3)Motor ports
4)Power supply interface
5)Hot-end/hotbed heater interface
6)Thermal runaway interface
7)End stop ports
8)Fan ports
9)Display port
10)TF/SD card slot
11)Communication ports(USB-C interface, WiFi, CAN, etc.)

What to look for in a Controller board before purchasing?

1)The first thing you should look at is the Processor. What is its Architecture (32-bit or 8-bit)? How fast could it proceed(Main Frequency, RAM) and how large could it storage (Flash size)?
2)Could you run Marlin/RepRap/Klipper on this board?
For details, check out MKS product database >>>
3)Number of a-xis
If your 3d printer have multiple extruders or z-axis motors, you need pay attention to the number of motor interfaces, motor driver slots, hot-end heater slots, hot-end thermal port, and limit-switch ports.
* Some MKS boards can share a stepper driver with 2 z-axis motors.
For details, check out MKS product database >>>
4)Stepper motor matters
Most MKS 3d printer boards are compatible with A4988, TMC2208/TMC2225, and TMC2209/TMC2226. If the board have external Stepper driver ports, you can connect stepper drivers of larger current such as TMC 2160-OC/TMC 2160-57.
5)Wired or wireless communication port or expansion
Does this board communicate in the way you favor? Does the board have USB Type-A port? USB Type-C port? Mini-USB port? Micro USB port? WiFi expansion?

6)Regular add-on
such as filament-run-out sensor, Power-off resume, auto-leveling sensor, expansion ports(12c, SPI, UART, CAN), etc...

Why some Controller boards don’t come along with stepper drivers?

Most makers prefer to choose the stepper drivers by themselves since stepper drivers are highly diversified for different needs of current, micro-stepping rate, silences, etc. Also, the cost plays an important role when choosing the stepper driver.
