Hello. I am completely new to the MPCNC and have mine completely built except for the controller and wiring kit. 1) Is the Jackpot3 controller suitable for a beginner, and is the setup fairly straightforward? 2) I want to eventually add a laser and cutter. Is the Jackpot3 expandable?

Hi Morris, it is always best to start your own thread, makes keeping the facts straight easier.

I purchased the 12V recommended power supply on Amazon a while back. Will the 12V power supply work with the Jackpot3, or do I need to order a 24V power supply?
Welcome aboard! Hope you get your LR4 up and running soon.
Thank you. I’m building the Primo. I hope to build a LR4 one day.

I’d still advise 24V.

12V is fine. 24V is only used at higher speeds.

Thank you all for the answers. I am sooo stoked to have my Primo just about completed. It’s been a journey. Do you all suggest a case for the Jackpot3? If so, which one?

This one is purpose built for the LR4 but will work on a Primo and keep the board protected.
Its the only JP3 box I am aware of currently
