<p>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.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer: </strong></p><p>Prusa Mk2</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports: </strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>200</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong></p><p>10%</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Items need to be rotated 180 degree around the x or y axes.</p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p><strong>"Adornment"?</strong></p><p>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.</p><h3>How I Designed This</h3><p><strong>Design</strong></p><p>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.</p><h3>Custom Section</h3><p><strong>Multi-Colored End-Blocks</strong></p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p>These 12mm sections are not needed but I though the "adornment" added to the final result.</p><p> </p><p>You could also possibly use "ColorPrint" at <a href="http://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print">http://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print</a> 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.</p><p>Components:<br/>1x 5VDC 200W Power Supply - <a href="http://s.aliexpress.com/YZ7fAZni">http://s.aliexpress.com/YZ7fAZni</a></p><p>1x URBEST Inlet Module Plug - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME5YAPK/ref=oh\_aui\_detailpage\_o06\_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</p><p>3x Panel Mount 2.1mm DC barrel jack - <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/610">https://www.adafruit.com/product/610</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: Electronics</p>
