This adapter plate is meant to ease the installation of an MKS Robin Nano v3.1 into the stock housing of a Kobra 2 Pro/Plus/Max.  


Originally I designed it to specifically fit the Kobra 2 Pro, but the housing of the Kobra 2 Plus is the same.  
Due to the same stock mainboard being used in the Kobra 2 Max as well, the plate should also fit there.  

I decided to install an MKS Robin Nano v3.1 in my Kobra 2 Pro for being able to run a native Klipper.  
Since I wanted to install the mainboard into the stock housing, I designed this adapter plate.  
 
There are two mounting options: ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’.  
For both mounting solutions you'll need M3 bolts and nuts.  

Depending on which direction will be chosen, you have to use different mounting holes as you can see in the picture where I marked the goven holes in different colours:    

  • If you want to mount the MKS board ‘horizontally’, use the four holes marked with the orange circles around.  
    Mount the MKS board to the plate first, then install the plate in the housing using the four holes which are marked red.   
  • If you want to mount the MKS board ‘vertically’, you have to use the two mounting holes which are marked green and mount the board to the plate in the first place.  
    Then install the adapter plate with the MKS board using the two holes which are marked red.   
    Finally, add bolts to the two holes which are marked with both a green and a red circle.  
    ATTENTION:  
    When mounting the board ‘vertically’, you need to slightly elongate one specific mouting hole of the MKS board as shown in the pictures.  
    You also need a 90° USB-B cable/adapter, because the board is located close to the wall of the housing.
