LM2596 Buck Converter Housing
thingiverse
Designed specifically for the popular generic LM2596S/HVS buck converters widely available on Ebay and Amazon. This conversion was created to transform a 12v wall wart into a reliable 5v power source suitable for use with routers. The screw holes are precision-designed as M3 sized, allowing for secure installation using nylon M3 screws that prevent electrical shorts. A cost-effective kit of these screws can be easily obtained on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=M3+plastic+screw+kit&_sacat=0 To ensure a secure fit, you may need to initially thread the holes using a metal M3 screw or by tapping them. A spare screw from an old PC optical drive works perfectly for this purpose. If your powered device requires a significant amount of current, consider adding ventilation holes to the lid and mounting a heatsink on the LM2596 IC. This will help prevent overheating issues with the converter.
