MKS MOSFET Holder - Sidewinder X1 by pappl

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a remix from Euter's MOSFET holder.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2803881
MKS MOSFET holder for Sidewinder X1 nozzle heating element.
Parts list:
MKS MOSFET (80A with optocouplers)
This printed holder
2x T-nuts
2x screws for T-Nuts
4x small screws for MOSFET
cables with fuse holder to the MOSFET from PSU (e.g. AWG14 red and black)
Fuse, Amps according your heating element setup!
old cables from board mosfet to the new MOSFET
crimped electric wire ferrules on wire ends.
In ASWX1-Facebook group many users experience heating element failures, sometimes due to MKS Gen L board mosfet failing.
With this mod the weak onboard mosfet will only trigger the load over the new 80A MKS MOSFET.
This is a holder for the big Mosfet to fit in the case.
It can be mounted on the aluminium profile near the bottom plate fan.
Install instructions are available on the internet, i just added an additional fuse from PSU to the MKS MOSFET, because the new mosfet is not connected directly to the board and it's onboard SMD fuses.
Attention: This is no install instruction! Don't do electrical modifications if you are no professional electrician.
Unplug the mains cable before opening the case.
