LM2596 / LM2596S Buck Converter Case with 2020 Mount and Power Switch

thingiverse

A stylish and easy to print enclosure for an LM2596(S) buck converter, which I use for an LED light strip on my Ender 3 (it converts the 24V down to 12V). Apart from the design the main difference as compared to other projects here is that it includes a power switch. The case itself should be all plug and play, except for 2 screws (M2 or M2.5) used to attach the top. Just slide the case into the profile of the 2020 extrusion (e.g. on the Ender 3 simply remove the plastic cap and slide the mount into the extrusion - no need for screws or any other material). LM2596 / LM2596S come in a variety of sizes and form factors. I have left a little extra space that should allow for slightly bigger boards (but you may have to adapt the two pins, that hold the board in place). I use this version of the LM2596S - <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/Ff96VRzm"> LM2596 / LM2596S</a> and a small power switch - <a href="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/K9L1vzn6"> power switch</a> If you enjoy the design and are looking for a case for your Raspberry Pi Zero, you may like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3572030 Enjoy and please let me see your makes. And of course take care when handling electronic equipment and no warranty whatsoever.
