Another ATX Bench Power Supply w Cord Storage

cults3d

I have built another one of these projects and I am extremely pleased with its performance, so I decided to create another one with a smaller footprint and two negative posts. To save space, the cables are relocated from the front of the power supply to the rear and tucked away in a pocket beneath the handle. You will need to either drill a hole in the top cover of the power supply to reroute the wires or remove it completely. If you leave the top cover off, it will require gluing together; otherwise, it should stay intact with pressure. The handle connects to the central piece using a dove tail joint. This project was printed in ABS plastic, but I highly recommend using PLA instead due to its superior print quality and reduced warping issues. No supports were needed for this particular design. The grill and cable wrap require sturdy materials or high infill settings to withstand the stresses of regular use and need to be glued into place. The top of the opening for the power supply comes extremely close to the curve in the case, so if it is printed at lower resolutions, it may not connect properly. Be sure to check your slices carefully. To create the actual power supply, I salvaged an old CPU and followed a guide posted on makeuseof.com, but ultimately relied on information from multiple websites and YouTube videos to modify it according to my needs.
