×Elegoo sidecar
I have had an Elegoo Mars pro, and wanted to send print jobs to it via Wi-Fi. The only way to do this is to replace the controller board with a Chitubox controller. I ordered the wrong board, which supports up to 10.1" 4K panels. Rather than returning it, then waiting for the replacement, I've decided to make it work for me.
In addition to the printed parts, you will need an 80mm 3mm rod as a hinge pin, and five m4 x 4mm helicoil threaded inserts. These are all found on eBay. The 3mm shafts are drive shafts for RC cars.
in order to complete this mod you will need to cut an 80mm tall x 40mm wide hole in the left side rear chassis cover. You will probably need to extend the DC powercabling by 5cm.
the wonderful thing about this mod is that it opens the door to not only Wi-Fi printing, but also 4K LCDs and dimensionallly larger LCDs. I can foresee a mod to use the fine Mars rail assembly on a larger LCD
this project is underway, so photos will be added over the next several days.
