ATX POWER SUPPLY

thingiverse

Here is my printed front plate with a 20 amp meter and RadioShack jacks. The jacks are the double ones at .750 inch center to center, making them ideal for high-performance applications. The face plate itself can be easily removed for wiring or repairs, saving you valuable time in the process. The basic shape of the printed parts requires no drilling to the ATX unit, nor any modifications to the sheet metal - a huge advantage when it comes to building a custom power supply. The face plate extension is spacious and features a robust design that withstood printing without a single issue, although I did experience a minor warping due to the print bed's surface temperature fluctuating during use. Thankfully, this does not affect the performance of the front plate. I'm also planning modifications to the back plate for increased structural integrity, which I'll document in my next update. What's more, you can easily convert the face plate into a panel mount - giving you flexibility and freedom when designing your custom power supply. Plus, I'm sharing the Blender files so you can design your own components from scratch using these files as a starting point. To recap: this project offers many perks including effortless integration with the ATX unit's internal mechanisms due to its uncomplicated design and adaptable parts that won't require extensive modification or customization, thanks to a robust face plate extension with sufficient room for comfortable mounting, plus compatibility with panel mount setup if desired.
