Modular control panel
Modular control panel allows to create your panel control
regarding your needs.
It is compatible with :
Mk3s /mk2s panel control for Prusa3D
PanelDue 5i from Duet3D
Raspberry PI 3 1B+ / 2B / 3B+ / 4B
Kuman 3.5″ (GPIO) / Hyperpixel 4″ (GPIO) / Waveshare 5″ (DSI)
W1219 enclosure temperature control
And more…
This page is divided in two sections:
If you want to have the temperature control system with W-1219 but you don’t have room for it on enclosure’s front, you can add it on the side.
Modular control panel
Assembly time : 1 hour
We recommend screen with DSI cables:
- No driver
- Only one DSI cable to plug
- GPIO fully free
Screens with HDMI bridge are NOT suitable

Insert the M3 hexagonal nut in the slot
Cut a piece of 95mm long PTFE tube. Insert it in the slot to the bottom.
Place and secure with M3*6 screws W-1219 component and Prusa screen.
Insert USB cable extender and tighten in place with a zip-tie.
Assemble printed parts together using M3*6 screws (only to keep in place)
Unplug switch wires, insert switch from the front, and plug back the wires.
Add the two bottom parts (plates) using M3 screws
Open the pre-cut opening to make room for the wiring harness
Using M3*12 screws, secure the back plates to the enclosure and to the control panel. The back bracket is tighten to the middle of the control panel.
Don’t forget the M3*6 screw from under the enclosure
Add the rotational knob
Standalone modular panel
Prusa mk2/3s without Prusabox
Standalone parts allows you to mount instead of the original Prusa panel.
Due to control panel height, it is a mandatory to add printer feet spacer (file available in download section).
