Case for LM2596 Buck Converter and Logic Level Converter

thingiverse

This enclosure was crafted to be mounted on the T-slot extrusion channel along the side of my MK3s printer. It accommodates a logic level converter and an LM2596, allowing me to power my WS2812 5v LED strip. I installed it below the Einsy enclosure. The LED strip is controlled by a Raspberry Pi running the 'RGB Status' plugin in Octopi. Box Assembly: • The buck converter screws onto the box with two #4-40 x 1/4" screws • The pins that came with the level shifter were too tall for the box, so I soldered wires directly to the board • The logic lever shifter was simply super glued into the slot after all connections were made • The lid attaches using four M3 x 5mm flat socket cap screws • I created a schematic based on other schematics I found online The LED light bar I printed is from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3284730 Instead of utilizing aluminum u-channel, I printed my own from Cas56's design at https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/3267-led-light-bar-prusa-i3-mk2mk3/user-gcodes Links to hardware used: WS2812 LED Strip: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01CDTEE5W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Buck Converter: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074J4DLWQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Logic Level Shifter: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07LG646VS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also want to acknowledge that I obtained the design of the T-slot hangers from some side boxes found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2913700
