MULTIPLE COLOUR OPTIONS TO UPGRADE: Makerbase mini color display can update the screen for Creality 3d printer ender-3/ender-3 v2/ender-3 pro with Makerbase MKS robin nano V2 motherboadd to be white red orange yellow green color showing RGB multi-color backlight with various color lights support knob to directly adjust settings, simple operation, cool effect. And also compatible with most Makerbase MKS mainboard, can use for CR-10S/CR-10 S4/CR-10S5/CR-X/CR-20/CR-20PRO 3D Printer.
LARGE SD CARD INSERT OPTION: Makerbase mini color screen can insert the SD punch card directly which is easy to handle. Original 3D printer Card slot are inside machine of ender 3, ender 3 v2 and ender 3 pro. After use the new color display, you can insert the SD card on screen.
SIDE FRONT MATCHING MORE MACHINES: MKS mini color screen MINI12864 V3 have two types, Insert SD Card Side/front, which can be selected according to the structure of different types of 3d printers such as ender-3 ender-3 v2 ender-3 pro and also Sovol SV06 FDM 3D printer for home use.
SUPPORT EXP1 EXP2 INTERFACES: 3d printer MKS mini color display is connected using EXP1 and EXP2 interfaces, EXP1 and EXP2 on the BTT SKR Motherboard are in opposite directions to the mini12864,please remove the lock latch of the cable first.
MULTIPLE MOTHERBOARD COMBINATIONS: Makerbase display control MKS Mini 12864 can support MKS monster8 V2 MKS eagle Nana V2 V3 Gen L V1 V2 Gen L Robin E3 E3D almost support most makerbase mother board with Marlin 2.0 and Klipper for more DIY upgrade tool for 3d printers.

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?

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.

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.
