MKS GEN 1.4 2040 mount

This fully customizable mount adapts MKS GEN 1.4 to 2040 aluminum extrusion. I built this with Bear Upgrade in mind, but it should also mount anywhere. This mount also provides means of attaching two 5x7cm daughter boards at the back, cable management for the extruder, heated bed and misc wiring at the bottom, it supports a fan bank with up to 3x 40mm fans.

Twist-in cable clamp

This clamp seems to be the one that works best with my setup, as it gives some clearance for the wiring. I used 10x6mm version.
