Compatible with a wide range of stepper drivers and external motors, it offers versatile connectivity including LCD and touchscreen support, while advanced filtering circuits ensure stable, crash-free printing. Designed for professional makers seeking reliability and streamlined setup. ## Description 1, assemble 2560 and rampsl.4 on a board to solve the complicated and easy interface of Rampsl.4. So the problem of the matrix. 2, users can replace their own motor drivers, supporting 4988 drivers, 8825 drivers and TMC2100 drivers. 3, reserved external drive signal, and can be driven by external drive to drive 57 and 86 motors. 4, the use of high-quality MOSFET tube, heat dissipation better, ensure long-term work. 5, the use of dedicated power chip, support 12V - 24V power input, to solve Ramps voltage conversion chip heating, power shortage problem. 6, stable filter circuit greatly reduces the possibility of interference, and avoids the phenomenon of crash and run away most likely during printing. 7, 24V input can be accepted. Under the same system power, the hot bed current can be reduced to 1/4, which effectively solves the heating problem of the MOS pipe of the hot bed. 8, the use of open source firmware Martin configuration and rampsl.4 exactly the same, then may wish to replace Rampsl.4 9, it can directly connect 2004LCD display and 12864LCD display, which can support TFT28 and TFT32 touchscreens. 10, the XYZ shaft uses different terminals to match motors and limit switches. 11, humanized design, using different color terminals to distinguish the driving direction, reduce the probability of insertion and prevent the damage caused by drive and insert. ## Features - 2560 and Ramps1.4 integrated on a single PCB for easier routing and stability. - Uses the same quality configuration as Ramps 1.4 with high quality 4-layer PCB and Marlin firmware. - Use a dedicated power chip to support V-24 V. - Accepts 24V input and reduces the heating bed current to 1/4, effectively solving the thermal problem. - Can be used to connect external large stepper drives, maintain Ramps 1.4 servo system, AUX-1 and AUX-2 interfaces, provide three 5V output interfaces and three 12V output interfaces. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Mingtech | | Part number | Gen-L | | Item Weight | 180 g | | Package Dimensions | 24 x 11.2 x 6.2 cm; 180 g | | Batteries included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Images ![MKS Gen-L Control Board for 3D Printer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1pGhNf0GcL.jpg) ![MKS Gen-L Control Board for 3D Printer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ppjpQFIML.jpg) ![MKS Gen-L Control Board for 3D Printer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xF5K8i79L.jpg) ![MKS Gen-L Control Board for 3D Printer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/917EpYFX-fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A solid board, but not perfect out of the box *by C***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2020* A great board, does exactly what it was supposed to do, and it was easy to install TMC2209 drivers into. The only issue with the board is a lack of a smoothing cap on the 5V rail, meaning my hotend and bed temperatures reading were incredibly unstable, and my prints never started. This can be easily resolved by plugging a low ESR capacitor across a 5V-GND connection though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good controller board *by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2018* Bought after a cheap mks base v1.5 clone board failed. This board is great quality, solder joints are well done and printer is back working again with no issues. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Don’t work. Very poor. *by F***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2018* Ordered two of these and both faulty. Fans don’t work and won’t report correct thermistor temps. Very poor indeed as had to strip printer down to fit them. Very disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/67807188-mks-gen-l-control-board-for-3d-printer](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/67807188-mks-gen-l-control-board-for-3d-printer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
