Case for DAOKI DC-DC USB Buck Boost Converter

thingiverse

#July 24, 2022 Thingiverse is getting worse and worse by the day. Many features have been broken for ages, and MakerBot clearly doesn't care about fixing them. View counts don't work, editing model descriptions is a pain, and now my recent uploads from the past month aren't showing up in search results. I can't even see them in my profile. This website is broken and shows no sign of improving. I've left up my Thingiverse posts, but have removed most of the STL files. You can [download my models](https://www.printables.com/social/318555-russell-wong/models) from Printables.com, and I'll get points to use toward Prusa filament. All of my future work will be available there. [Case for DAOKI DC-DC USB Buck Boost Converter on printables.com](https://www.printables.com/model/247435-case-for-daoki-dc-dc-usb-buck-boost-converter) -- This case is for a [DAOKI USB buck-boost converter](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08M34RXJW), which you can get from Amazon. I have a USB LED ring light that I've mounted to my CR-6 SE. The light has an inline controller for power, brightness, and colour temperature, but that prevents me from turning the light on/off automatically with my printer. I cut off the USB controller and wired the LEDs directly to the DAOKI buck converter, which enables me to turn the light on when it receives power. The converter enables manual dimming with a thumbscrew, so I set it to 3.2V (the max output of the controller). There are two small switches on the converter. The first one cuts and restores power, and turns off the display with a long-press. The second one cycles between showing voltage, amperage, or both. Whenever you plug the converter in, it always defaults back to turning on with the display showing voltage. The case has a window to see the display, built-in buttons for the controls, and holes for the thumbscrew, USB-A connector, and microUSB connector.
