Description

The Makerbase MKS UPS24V module serves as an essential safety component for 3D printers, specifically designed to mitigate the risks associated with unexpected power interruptions. Its primary function is to detect AC power loss and provide a temporary power supply, allowing the 3D printer’s motherboard to execute a controlled shutdown sequence. This critical window of operation enables the extruder to be lifted from the current print, effectively preventing nozzle crashes into the model and protecting the integrity of the unfinished print.

When a power cut occurs, the MKS UPS module promptly signals the motherboard, which then utilizes the stored power to halt printing, disengage the hotbed and hotend, and initiate the Z-axis lift. This intelligent mechanism ensures that even during a power failure, your valuable prints are not ruined and can potentially be resumed once power is restored. It’s an invaluable upgrade for makers seeking enhanced reliability and peace of mind during long print jobs, especially for those utilizing Marlin 2.0 firmware and a 12864/2004 LCD screen for print recovery.

Key Features

  • Provides a reliable 24V DC power supply, ensuring broad compatibility with modern 3D printers.
  • Features multiple output ports to support simultaneous power delivery to necessary components during power events.
  • Designed for seamless integration, complementing systems with LCD displays or LED indicators for status feedback.
  • Incorporates battery monitoring capabilities for real-time status updates and charge level awareness.
  • Functions as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), offering crucial backup power during unexpected electrical outages.

Applications

  • Enabling safe Z-axis lift for 3D printer extruders during power interruptions.
  • Protecting ongoing 3D prints from damage caused by unexpected power loss.
  • Facilitating print recovery capabilities on 3D printers running Marlin 2.0 firmware with 12864/2004 LCD screens.
  • Enhancing reliability for long-duration 3D printing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of the MakersBase MKS UPS24V module?

The MKS UPS24V module detects AC power outages, providing temporary backup power to your 3D printer's motherboard. This allows for a controlled shutdown sequence, including lifting the Z-axis, which protects ongoing prints from nozzle crashes and enables potential print resumption after power is restored, enhancing print job reliability.

Which 3D printer systems are compatible with the MKS UPS24V?

This module is specifically designed for 3D printers operating on a DC 24V power supply. It requires a motherboard running Marlin 2.0 firmware or newer, coupled with a 12864 or 2004 LCD screen for print recovery functionality. It's not compatible with MKS Robin series (except E3/E3D) or MKS TFT screens.

How much Z-axis lift can the MKS UPS24V provide during a power cut?

The power stored within the MKS UPS24V module and the power supply unit typically allows for a Z-axis lift range of 20mm to 200mm. This ample vertical movement ensures the extruder clears the print, preventing damage and preserving the print's integrity until power can be restored and the print resumed.

Can this module prevent data loss or firmware corruption during power failures?

While its primary role is to protect the physical print by lifting the Z-axis, the controlled shutdown process it enables helps mitigate abrupt power loss risks. This minimizes the chances of corrupting the SD card or motherboard data, contributing to overall system stability and reducing the likelihood of requiring a full printer reset.
