<h2>\r\nUpdate: 7/21/2019\r\n</h2>\r\n\r\nI am almost ready to release the next version, so I'm now marking this one as a non-work in progress. If you need something adjusted or added for this version, just send me a message and I'll see what I can do. Hopefully, I'll have the new version out by early next month.\r\n\r\n- - - \r\n\r\nUpdate: 7/8/2019\r\n\r\nI'm currently working on a new Control Box. This one will be updated with a few fixes I've found, but it's still in development. If you have any input on what you'd like to see added or adjusted, please let me know.\r\n\r\n- - - \r\n\r\nUpdate: 5/15/2019\r\n\r\nI noticed some adjustments that need to be made, so I'm warning you to print at your own risk. The outer walls need to be modified so they can be printed flat with no supports to save time on printing. This will also modify the back and front walls.\r\n\r\n- - - \r\n\r\nUpdate: 5/19/2019\r\n\r\nI fixed some alignments, added new fans and sizes, and re-did the plug ports to fit tighter and go in easier. I also removed text from the back panels as they didn't print right.\r\n\r\n- - - \r\n\r\nUpdate: 5/20/2019\r\n\r\nI added narrow side plates, made the parts of MKS and RPi 4-4 that mount to the front of the frame thinner, and adjusted alignment some more. I'll try to keep things updated and add more as needed.\r\n\r\n- - - \r\n\r\nUpdate: 5/15/2019\r\n\r\nI noticed some adjustments that need to be done so please print at your own risk.

Doing so will also modify the back and front walls.\r\n\r\n- - - \r\n\r\nMade this Modular Control Box to fit my MKS Gen L (Should Fit SKR as well.), Raspberry Pi 3b+ and 2 Buck Converters. It is double the size of most standard control boxes for better airflow and wire management.\r\n\r\nI made each part modular so I don't have to print the whole box over again if I need to make changes.\r\n\r\nThe 2 top fans are 75mm Gpu fans I took off 2 aftermarket 7900GS Coolers. And the front Fan on the MKS side is a 70mm Stock AMD CPU Cooler Fan.\r\n\r\nThe rear panels are setup to hold Powerpole & JST SM 2-4pin connectors, USB, Ethernet & HDMI. (HDMI and Ethernet ports may need adjusting.)\r\n\r\nMKS: \r\nPowerpole Slots: Mainboard, Heatbed, Hotend.\r\nJST SM 4pin: Extruder, Z-Axis, Y-Axis, X-Axis Motors.\r\nJST SM 3pin: BLTouch\r\nJST SM 2pin: BLTouch or Z Endstop, Y Endstop, X Endstop, Bed Temp, Extruder Temp, Hotend Fan, Cooling Fan\r\n\r\nRPi:\r\nPowerpole Slots x3: Buck Converters or whatever else you want to use them for.\r\nJST SM 3pin x4: Fans & LED\r\nJST SM 2pin x4: Fans & LED\r\nUSB x2: Wired to Raspberry Pi for Camera, Etc.\r\n\r\nThe assembly will require M2-5mm Screws & Nuts, and Adjustable Feet on Frame.\r\nIf you don't want to Cut & Solder your Stock wires. You can run them through each Slot or Modify the panel to your liking.\r\n\r\nThis is still a work in progress and I will be updating it as needed for fine tuning.\r\n\r\nAll parts created in Tinkercad.\r\n\r\nI will have pictures of my setup posted soon.
