Re: mks gen v1.4

Yes you can.  It can be loaded with Marlin firmware  ( 1.8 or higher) that has support for NanoDLP
Good luck

Re: mks gen v1.4

The motor connects to the Z motor point and the UV led connects to the part cooling fan output as it is controllable by Gcode but you have to get the polarity correct or you may damage the board and/or the LED

which version of Marlin do you plan to use .

If you send me more details on your UV LED and its driver i can better advise how to hook it up !

That's a very nice LED array. But im more interest in the driver ( you cant just connect it to the output of  the 1.4

Example
In this ad it shows the LED array & the driver

You can use any suitable LED driver but you need to know what your LED requires . Voltage and amps ??

An "LED driver" is the generic name for a power supply that is suitable for LEDs  Usually they have current limiting which is needed for most LED's
So typically you just need the Z motor connection . the FAN ( LED driver) connection and the Z -  endstop connection for homing

No... You attach the LED where i indicated LED driver . It has to be here so you can switch it on & off with Gcode

Make sure you have the USB connection correctly configured in NanoDLP

Check the ramps controller settings

and check the
USB serial port config info
