ATX breakout board cover

thingiverse

I was in search of a bench top power supply and found that hobby ones can be quite pricey. I opted to repurpose an old PC power supply since it was no longer serving any other purpose. Initially, I tried sourcing all the necessary components myself, but then discovered the SparkFun breakout board which proved to be cheaper than buying individual parts. Considering the presence of little ones around, I added extra switches to the board to ensure each component could be powered off individually. My case design took into account the need to protect both the board and fuses from tiny fingers and falling objects. The print was my first attempt with this red PLA material, but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped – a minor setback on the inside of the box. Additional components required for this project include: - An ATX power supply, which must have its extra wires removed and capped. - A SparkFun ATX breakout board. - Five mini toggle switches (I prefer these over cheap slide switches). - A green LED light (since it's more intuitive to use a green light indicating "go," or that the power is on – I already had a red one). - Screws for assembly. - Any available wire lying around.
