This is a modular case that is easy to print as everything is printed down flat, no supports required. You have to glue some parts together. This is to be attached on a 2040 aluminum profile.

I used methylene chloride which is like Acetone to ABS. But yes, it is very toxic, cancerous, and all that bad stuff. Be advised and use at your own risk. Off course, super glue (cyanoacrylate) will also work.

I am using two drivers, one to control the fans (when any motor is activated, it turns the fan on. When motors are idle for more than one minute, the fans turn off). And the second one to control the extruder fan and the lights (they go on when extruder temperature is above 50 C. They turn off when temperature is below 50 C)

Here are the fans I am using now:

These fans have 3 wires so you may not need the controller listed below, but I couldn't get it to work...
- Here are the controllers I am using for the board fans and the extruder fan + lights:

There features are all programmed in within Marlin firmware.
- After you have all the parts printed, you can screw the MKS board bracket to the 2040 profile and install the electronics. Then GLUE the two groups of parts together by following the pictures. If you glued them all correctly, next you can add the second half to the 2040. The front cover and the top+side are just snapped in place. I have not glued those pieces as you it makes it easy for maintenance inside the case.
Hope the pictures are enough to clear the muddy waters... if not, send me a comment and I will respond.
