HP DPS600PB mount

I wanted a more robust and reliable power supply. I never though about server power supplies, but those are reliable and robust. Connecting the PSU is not that difficult and [discussed](https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/tevo-tarantula-owners/forums/general/topic:13259) in groups. I also configured Marlin to power up the PSU using Marlin (and M80 gcode command from OctoPrint). I used three XT60 connectors and soldered them to the 12V pins on the PSU using 2mm² solid copper wire from a stripped electric wire. Also added two female USB type-A connectors and connected them to the 5V standby. From this I power a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint and the controller board of my printer. Also made a slot to feed three wires from the PSU to the printer controller board. These are used to connect to the controller board to power on the PSU. I use M3 screws and some small screws, which I believe are M2 or M1.5 screws. I used [these](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10PCS-USB-type-A-USB-mother-Curved-needle/32265708803.html) female USB connectors. The small screws are from a collection of [Screws](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/300pcs-set-Laptop-Computer-DIY-Assemble-Repair-Screws-Set-for-IBM-HP-TOSHIBA-SONY-DELL-SAMSUNG/32801902505.html, "screws").
