MKS Monster 8 V2 DIY Board - Product Tour - Firmware & Other Goodies

[@joseguevara184]

The dog is a refreshing touch, a pause to follow all this.

[@obican]

After two days of trying to hook up an Ender 3 Pro display to this board (inverted the socket, that wasn't the problem), your firmware solved the issue! Thank you so much!

[@TH3DStudio]

Youre welcome!

[@3dexperiments]

LMAO that hat!

[@sharonrose9552]

​@TH3DStudio Thank you for the video. It was really good and even fast explanation. I got one for my SV03 because of dual z-axis and dual extruder potential. Not that many boards can give you that.

[@TH3DStudio]

Glad it helped!

[@jasontrauer]

I want that hat! What mainboard is that running?

[@dexmox999]

Does this support a pt1000 natively ? Or do I require additional setup on board via jumper or max chip - the octopus uses dip switches

[@TH3DStudio]

Most support the PT1000 natively. It's the older PT100 that usually needs an Amp board.

[@dragnet53]

Does this board support TFT displays like from Big Tree Tech?

[@TH3DStudio]

Yeah it can work with it. Those just need a UART header and the Monster 8 V2 has one. Our firmware doesn't support it though but you can modify the code to add it on since we provide the full source code.

make a video how to flash the mks monster8 v2 gjl clipper board

[@TH3DStudio]

MKS has Klipper info for these boards on their GitHub here: github.com/makerbase-mks/Klipper-for-MKS-Boards/tree/main/MKS%20Monster8

@@TH3DStudio that 's where the use of mks monster 8 v2 ends for ordinary users . pity!

[@TH3DStudio]

We have our own firmware for this board that is easy to use. Klipper is not for ordinary users.

@@TH3DStudio it's a pity then the fee goes to the trash I switch to the octopus

[@Gideonopuni]

I just received this same board and looking for the firmware. How may i get it from you?

[@TH3DStudio]

It's on our website for $5.

@@TH3DStudio it's unfortunate you don't do business with Africa

[@TH3DStudio]

We do not sell to Africa (and South Africa) because over 80% of the orders going there ended up in fraudulent chargebacks at some point and for physical orders they would constantly go missing. Both issues caused monetary loss for us.

[@LucidFX.]

I see the referenced Firmware has no configuration.h file other then the default. I assume if one guys the FW that configuration.h is included? OR is it only the stock file given?

[@TH3DStudio]

I'm not sure what you mean. Our firmware for this board comes with the DIY config, you have to set up the values for your printer you are installing it in.

[@LucidFX.]

@TH3DStudio ahhhh ok my mistake. I thought it was setup for some particular printer and we just adjusted as necessary. Thanks 😊

[@gideonopuni964]

I purchased the firmware and my board is in. How do I install CR touch on the board

[@TH3DStudio]

If you need tech support we offer that as a service. We can help you get the CRTouch wired up and firmware setup for it. It's $30 for one ticket if you didn't get the tech support when you purchased the firmware. Contact us here: contactus.th3dstudio.com/

[@mustafaonurucak614]

Hello, I have an MKS Monster 8 V2 motherboard and an MKS TFT28 V4.0 screen. However, I cannot read any data from this screen. I connected the screen to the UART (USART) terminal on the motherboard. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this. Have a nice day!

[@deone-entity3935]

Will it work on A4988 driver ? 😊 I have trust issues

[@TH3DStudio]

Yeah these boards work with the a4988 drivers as well.

[@chickenz4604]

hello, i got problem on my MKS Monster 8 V2. when it is powered on, the indicator light only turn on at VIn and 12V. 3.3VP, 3.3V, and 5V do not turn on. what is the cause of this problem?

[@TH3DStudio]

Sounds like the 5V rail is bad on there.

[@Maxflax121]

Lets hope there is a case for the Sovol sv06 Plus. Would change that shitty sovol mainboard out in a heartbeat.

[@sharonrose9552]

I'm putting one in the SV03. I didn't even think about the case before buying it. I haven't quite measured but it looks like it actually fits in the existing case. I have to drill a few holes for mounting the board. For sd card and usb port, I may just cut a square out with the dremel and maybe someday print a bezel for the ports and call it a day. It shouldn't take that long in KiCAD.

[@wayneuk]

creality also have a new e3 free run board out iv'e one here arm32 f104ret6.. awaiting your magic tim for some firmware.. not as impressive as this board i must say

[@TH3DStudio]

Yeah I saw that. It's on my desk. Going to be doing firmware for it soon.

[@sharonrose9552]

The e3 doesn't have enough drivers to support the dual x motors and a second extruder. The F4 processor is also better if you are running Marlin.
