Looks great! I love all of the little details. Would you ever consider a second channel where you post your sketch-up work? I'd love to see what you're doing in real time. A bonus would be to have a little bit of narration about what you're doing. You are very skilled, and it would be a great way for us beginners to level up our modeling skills.

Really nice build and I love that blue also. An extra feature you can add is to make possible to the case to be stackable.

Thx, and that's a good idea. If I ever revisit this design, I'll probably add some insets to stack.

Love the design of the feet on this. I also appreciate your attention to detail and the small accents in the design that take this to the next level. You could have just made a plain box for this to fit in pretty easily but everything you added makes this look exceptionality good and professional. Good job as always!

Nice design. My favorite part is the folding feet, clever design.

Well thought out design there! At first I was thinking the top finger recess would be a cup-holder to hold the mandatory beverage/tinkering session combo.... but those articulating feet are my favorite aspect there. Great job.

I am no designer but a couple of suggestions. TPU feet on the flip-feet so that when they are in the flat position the unit rests on 4 TPU feet. Second suggestion would be heat inserts (can’t see whether you have used them or not) particularly for the fasteners you would need to unscrew/screw back in if the unit needed servicing. Great design though and aesthetically pleasing!

favorite part: blue cover, sketchup drawing

I like it all! It definitely has a professional look. Doesn’t look like 3D printed items usually does. More like molded parts. That is a cool color as well.

Hello! Really like the explanation of the whys of every design decision. I'm learning a lot about it. I'm mechanichal technician and software engineer and as a hobby I'm designin simple proyects with mechanical parts, pre-buit electronics and low level software. All with FDM 3d printing. I'm pretty far from US, cheers from cordoba, argentina.😄

Enjoyed the attention to detail in your 3d design. The time and effort really paid off in an off-the-shelf professional looking case.

I like the pretty colors on the screen.

I'm an electronic engineer and got a Prusa like 3 years ago and started learning to design boxes for my little electronic 'gadgets'. So this whole two parter was a treat for me. Actually, I said in a previous comment that my feet were my fav part of the build but now I'm not so sure, the face-plate did turn out exceptionally well.

The feeling of satisfaction or just "I won" from working hard on something like that and finally getting it to work so well in the end. It makes up for all those times when you put in all the same effort but still have to abandon it. Anyway, really enjoyed that and your other functional prints (Like you I don't care for trinkets, I love using my printer to solve or fix things but to this day, threeish years in and I still haven't ever printed a benchie.), keep them coming :)

Looks great‼️ I really like the bevels on the case. It definitely looks well designed and much better than a normal squared off box. I look forward to making the enclosure for my power supply. I haven't decided if I'm going to modify the design and have a dual supply with a smaller 2nd power supply. I was wrong. It is buck only. I've got 60v batteries so I can go higher on output. I do have some lower voltage buck/boost power supplies. Aliexpress descriptions can be confusing especially on late night purchases😂

it'll fit two of the supplies linked in the vid description. I toyed around with the idea of trying to parallel two of them, but if one fails (or sags) in the future you'd kill the second one right quick.

My favorite part is, after all the sourcing, planning and cad, the first step of your build was to grind the screw heads down to size. Is that cad Sketch Up? Thanks to your video, my wife can understand the need for me to upgrade my psu. Thanks again.

@FunctionalPrintFriday

lol, it's true! I ground them down to near paper thin at the ends to avoid having to make the bottom thicker. Not sure if they make fasteners with that type of head, but I embrace modifying when I can

Two main things i really like about this design, the visual accents which make it look much more like actual equipment, like you said in the video and also learning about the RIDEN. I need a Lab PSU for some other project but did not know about this so prolly will build this. Downside is i need a bigger 3d printer as it will not fit on my voron zero :D

I like the color choice and features of the case. I would like to see the CAD files added to remix a longer case for the bigger supplies - I've got an RD6018 with a full-size supply ~800W in the metal case typically packaged. I'd like to have more, so this is a good option. One concern is flammability - there aren't many UL-listed FR plastic filaments on the market and in any real variety of colors, you might get white and black and that's it.

@FunctionalPrintFriday

9 ай бұрын

Yeh, that's fair on flammability. I'm toying around with the idea of providing access to the native design files with patreon or memberships or something. STL's will always be free though.

I have one of those blue PSUs that look like that, probably same manufacturer/series, mine is 24V/4A i think, i ordered one for myself and another for DiodeGoneWild from a different seller. He tested his and was almost satisfied with its safety, except the Y capacitor was not safety rated, which is not great. One that i got has a safety rated Y cap, and i have no reason to suspect that it may not be genuine. You can see the blue disc-shaped one on the boundary from primary to secondary, give it a good look. Another sketchy detail i noticed was potentially bad isolation between a surface mount component on the secondary and the heatsink, i was a little afraid what might happen after some vibration, so i jammed a piece of Kapton tape in between there - it guaranteed wouldn't be lethal but i thought it was a good extra assurance. Most reassuringly the construction of the transformer seems really good, it's often sketchy as all hell in no-name PSUs from China, nor are there any temperature related potential problems and the over-current cutout works good as well. Of course the keepouts and spacings on the PCB between pri and sec are observed as well, which is of course step 1 where many sketchy PSUs show that they're not to be trusted, but there's plenty of those where the PCB is designed correctly but something else fatally lets it down.

Earthing? And I'd get a 50C degree bi-metal switch for the fan if you want it off at low-loads. Love use of the feet.

@@FunctionalPrintFriday The fact the module has a big ol' earth jack on the front, if the PSU inside should be floating / how much resistance should its ground have to earth ground, is it chainable; It's basically thinking about what paths should or shouldn't electricity take with respect to earth in both working modes and failure modes. A lot of the time it's interaction with other devices which are or are not themselves earth-referenced.

@@ivolol the PSU was pulled from a steel POE switch which was definitely grounded, but I don't believe there's any need to reference ground for the new application I'm using it in. That said, it sounds like your knowledge in that area exceeds me, so I'll investigate further when I have the time. If there's no measured potential between either DC terminal and ground, is that sufficient to omit the ground for this application?

I really liked the feet design, the positional locks are a really great idea. I have a question about the TPU feet in back. With the AMS system could you print the feet in place? Maybe with a pin and barbs to hold them in? I have seen some clips there the hinge is made with TPU and the rest of the clip is something else like PETG or PLA. I'd like to see a follow up video where you model the back feet and build the TPU foot into a print in place example, kind of like you did on the front feet. Just a piece of the back foot area with a filament change to TPU using the AMS. Multi filament prints could make many prints more functional.

@FunctionalPrintFriday

The AMS doesn't like TPU unfortunately, but they're easy to pop in. I tend to print the TPU stuff on my MK3 because it just handles the flexible stuff so well

You need a thermister to control that fan.

Obligatory video favorite: I like the aesthetic you build into everything, along with the modularity (removable back panel and bottom panel).

So I'm a total n00b at CAD due to a combinstion of being primarily a programmer and always just winging it in FreeCAD instead of studying tutorials, but I noticed you used SketchUp. I kinda got the impression that it not for "real" engineering, but clearly it's working and I remember it being way more intuitive before, but I never used it for 3d prints. Do you prefer it over CAD? Are you using it to avoid expensive licenses or the learning curve? Or maybe a different reason? I noticed some cumbersome things like pocketing the hexagons individually rather than doing them all together and needing to create the facets on the corners manually.
