Monster8 for Voron v2.4

This is the config and any other files I end up needing for my install of a Monster8 in my Voron v2.4. So far, I have the entire motion system built and tested, just waiting for my toolplate to arrive. Based on their github project here: https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-Monster8

Monster8-Klipper.cfg is a generic Klipper config that contains instructions for standard build sizes.

Once I decide how to mount it (likely across the rails in front of the fans), I'll put the STL files for the mount in here too.

Wiring

B stepper motor → Driver0
A stepper motor → Driver1
Z0 (front left) stepper motor → Driver2-2 (leaving an empty connector between B/A and Z0)
Z1 (rear left) stepper motor → Driver3
Z2 (rear right) stepper motor → Driver4
Z3 (front right) stepper motor → Driver5
Extruder stepper motor → Driver7 (leaving an empty connector between Z3 and extruder)
Filament Runout Sensor → X-
X endstop switch → X+
Y endstop switch → Y+
Z endstop switch → Z-
Inductive probe (with BAT85) → Z+
Bed thermistor → TB
Hotend thermistor → TH0
Chamber thermistor → TH1
Frame thermistor → TH2
Hotend fan → FAN0 (See markings on back of board)
Print cooling fan → FAN1 (See markings on back of board)
Exhaust fan → FAN2 (See markings on back of board)
MKS Mini 13864 v3 → EXP1 and EXP2
SSR input → H-BED (See markings on back of board)
Hotend heater → HE0
Controller fan → HE1
Single-colour 24V LED strip → HE2

Note that you do not need to populate a driver for E3 since it's not used in this configuration.

Required jumper settings

Endstop - PWR → VIN
SPI/UART → UART configuration (see back of board)
Driver DIAG → No jumpers installed
Drive IC - PWR → 5V

Recommended jumper settings

USB-PWR → OFF

Other jumper settings

Each fan connector has a corresponding FAN-PWR jumper, which allows each individual fan to be ran with 5V, 12V, or 24V. I personally suggest using 24V for all of them (the jumper position furthest from the connector)
