This is a complete redesign from scratch in Fusion 360 using the source "thing" as a reference for sizes. The remix draws inspiration from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2120173 but boasts several significant improvements. The revised design allows users to power the PSU with either three 18650 batteries or a hobby battery typically found in model RC helicopters. This flexibility makes it easier to work with the device. To build this version, you'll need the following components: 1x DP30V5A - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272718281609 1x 4mm Banana Jack Set - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264469858505 1x 16mm 12v Latching Button & Connector - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1352395057455 1x XL6009 Step Up Converter - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262598327314 4x M3x20mm Grub Screws - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174008149758 1x 5.5x2.5mm DC Female Jack - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401763112690 1x 3S LiPo Protection PCB - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192756798512 1x 3S LiPo Battery Meter - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113890682728 You will also need basic soldering supplies like wire, solder, a soldering iron, electrical tape, and heatshrink. Please note that you should be able to assemble this device without requiring a wiring diagram. However, if you're new to working with LiPo batteries, it's recommended that you have some experience before attempting this project. One crucial step is setting the potentiometer on the Boost Converter PCB to output approximately 35 volts. This will allow your DP30V5A to operate at its optimal level. The case itself is designed to assemble using Superglue.
