5 Volt DC Power Supply Cover

thingiverse

This project was intended to provide a power supply cover for a 5 VDC power supply that will be used to power 5 VDC LED strips having individually addressable LEDs. Still awaiting delivery of two Panel Mount 2.1mm DC Barrel Jacks to complete final assembly. Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Mk2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 200 Infill: 10% Notes: Items need to be rotated 180 degree around the x or y axes. Post-Printing "Adornment"? Black 12mm sections of the end-blocks were printed as separate pieces and glued to the gray end-blocks to add a bit of adornment to the final product. How I Designed This Design This is similar to power supply end-blocks others have designed but was not sure if any would work as needed for my power supply. Using Fusion 360, I designed this for a 5 Volt DC power supply which will be used to power 5 Volt DC LED strips having individually addressed LEDs. Custom Section Multi-Colored End-Blocks While testing out the fit for the power supply end-blocks, I cut out a 12mm section from the open end of one of the end-blocks in Slic3r and printed just the 12mm section. Since having the 12mm section (in black) next to the final end-block (in gray) on the power supply "looked so good" to me, I printed another 12mm section and glued one to each end-block. These 12mm sections are not needed but I though the "adornment" added to the final result. You could also possibly use "ColorPrint" at http://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print to 3D print multi-colored end-blocks if you can be around at the layer(s) you need to make the filament change. ColorPrint embeds special commands into your existing g-code files.
