The Makerbase MKS DLC V2.1 is an all-in-one 32-bit control board for 3D printers and CNC/laser engravers. It combines an STM32F407VGT6 (or similar) main MCU with TMC2209 stepper drivers in UART mode, integrated Wi-Fi (ESP8285), RGB port, thermistor circuits, fan MOSFETs, and support for Marlin 2.x or Klipper. makerbase mks dlc v21 manual link

Key features:

Knowing exactly which pinout and voltage config you need is essential — hence why the official manual is critical. Makerbase hosts manuals on GitHub and their website:


⚠️ Some sellers label the board as MKS DLC v2.0 but ship v2.1 — check the silkscreen on the PCB. v2.1 often has a green PCB and improved ESP8285 circuit. Knowing exactly which pinout and voltage config you


  • Copy printer.cfg from MKS DLC sample in klipper configs.
  • Use ls /dev/serial/by-id/* to find USB path.
  • Check your manual’s wiring diagram for stepper motor pinouts — the Klipper config must match the board’s physical pins exactly.

  • Most Voron builders pair the MKS DLC V2.1 with Klipper. In your printer.cfg, reference the manual to find the correct [mcu] pins. Example snippet:

    [stepper_x]
    step_pin: PE2
    dir_pin: PE4
    enable_pin: !PE3
    microsteps: 16
    rotation_distance: 40
    

    All pin names in the manual match what Klipper expects. Cross-check the “MCU Pin Mapping Table” in the last pages of the PDF.
