Case for DC-Boost 12V-24V PCB

thingiverse

Human: I ordered a 12V -> 24V DC boost circuit from ebay (271416568548 "DC-DC 12V to 19V/24V/15V Adjustable Boost Converter Power Module Battery Charge"). The plan is to power PoE remote camera equipment using the higher voltage. Since the board didn't come with a case, I designed one specifically for it. After receiving and testing the device, which delivered 24 volts at one amp with an efficiency of 88%, I determined that a minor adjustment was needed in the design: adding a small notch to allow for clearance around a terminal block. The case includes pre-drilled holes for mounting the device's two main components, four M3 screws will assemble it. Assembling these together requires caution since any thread longer than 25 millimeters won't properly connect into the molded bosses on either side of the bottom section of this plastic casing, resulting in unstable positioning when printed using an FFF/FDM setup like the Prusa or FlashForge series; though they should hold with sufficient grip. I found it sufficient for my use case as I am aware there is no extra fastener (such as a nut) included which relies instead on M3 screw length to fit and function properly in most standard cases but always check measurements.
