Hey,
I see a jackpot box but nothing for the SKR.
Does the skr fit into the jackpot one just diffrent openings for the i/o stuff or does my lr3 one fit the lr4
Thank you
The Jackpot box is NOT appropriate for the SKR Pro. The SKR Pro is also longer than fits properly between braces often, so you have to be careful with it.
Edit: the LR3 box is a bit different from the LR4, but I believe that accommodation could be done to make it work.
I thought that @vicious1 had made a box for the SKR on the LR4, but there were so many posts in the Lounge thread, I lost track.
Im not in the lounge thread 
if you can post a link that would be amazing
I have a SKR box but I do not have an LCD solution yet. It is on my short list of things to do after finish the LR4 instructions and do the official release.

skr has its own box. the minimum brace spacing was like 210 mm (need to find the reference… placeholder: _________) for it to fit. LCD was loose. For the first round, I used a whole bunch of temporary velcro-like stuff to hold things in place. Not sure what the LR3 box dimension is. As long as you don’t get it too close to the moving core, you can likely make it work in the absence of anything else at this point. Share photos. If you have a little more time, it sounds like Ryan is working on an official solution.

Hey Ryan, can we have the stl for the box, before you get to the lcd, or do you want to wait until you have both ready? Im ready to start assembling 
Or would i maybe be best just printing an lr3 version for now and trying to make a temporary fit.
Guys has anyone worked their own solution for this yet+?
Shoot I forgot, let me see what I can do after the mail pickup.

May be a silly question, but based on the pictures I assume the hole in the top is for a fan, how important is having the fan? I get it’s a bit of situational question
Try without. If the drivers get hot, put a fan on.
It depends on the ambient temperarure, how much current you have set for the motors, and how much operational time they have versus holding current which is often (but not necessarily) less.
I live in a cool climate, and my machine is in the basement, so it’s hardly a problem. I put a fan on because I could. I have a 5015 fan so there it went, but I’ve run my LR3 with no fan since I built it for the beta test.
If you have an apropriate fan, it won’t hurt. If not, most people will do OK without. It may ruin a project to find out you need a fan, but it won’t hurt your machine. The drivers will go into thermal protection.

Live in Canada so it is generally colder than most, was more thinking of I either print covered up or put in a fan, probably will leave it an install at a later time… Realistically it’s a small hole, could just print a plug until I’m ready

Oh don’t cover it, if you do not use a fan just leave it open, You will need airflow, just maybe not a fan. I have never used on in California but I have not had this box in the middle of summer at 110F yet either. seems to have a lot more flow than my LR3 box.

Nope that’s fair, wasn’t even thinking air flow to be honest, was thinking dust and chips entering the box, gonna throw a fan on if for anything, that.
With the LR3 I used a stationary box where fans were on the side, just never plugged them or put fans in (forget who’s box I used now)
Will be attempting a stationary screen this time around with the control board mounted to the rails in the box. Less wires to run longer lengths, less chance for feedback, more so with the endstops
Any chance i can get the step file to modify it to fit the lcd and make it a little bit bigger?
The hose sits directly on top, there is just no room to have it integrated.
O i thought the hose connected the same way as the LR3. My setup was less than perfect. My hose had a bend and i never secured it to the top so i figured it would act the same way on the LR4
Securing it to the core is a pretty vital step in maintaining accuracy.
Sounds good, ill use the esp32 or grab a jackpot
