Ender 3 USB Power Supply for Raspberry Pi

thingiverse

Alternative to using a Buck Converter (although this is technically a Buck Converter). I made this to power my Raspberry Pi using a conventional USB cable. Just makes life easier. Can even charge your phone from your printer if the printer uses your only power outlet. I used the following USB PSU that is 12v/24v, so I've connected it to the 24v PSU of the printer. Others will obviously fit too, you'll just have to check the dimensions. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ProCar-67321500-Dual-Twin-5A-dash-panel-USB-A-charger-socket-12-24V-E-marked-/313196962752?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I tapped the holes in the housing with an M3x5 tap, this is optional as the screws will self tap. Just makes it nicer to put together. I decided to use screws instead of push fit as I always find that push fit tends to break or become weak over time. The screws keep everything held together nicely. Will obviously fit any other printer with a 4040 extrusion, but I only have an Ender 3V2 to test on. You'll need 4x M3 button head bolts/screws. Holes in the end cap for cables and smaller ones to act as a vent. Hope it's of some use to you, this is my first creation so go easy on me in the comments lol. Don't forget to post your makes!!
