Power Supply Enclosure

thingiverse

I'm constructing an adjustable height welding table for my workshop and I'll be utilizing linear actuators to lift the top up and down as well as to engage/disengage the wheels that allow the table to move. I acquired a 12-volt power supply to run the actuators and required an enclosure to safeguard it from shop dust while also providing a mounting capability. In addition to the print materials, you'll need eight 3 mm nuts inserted into the slots in the columns. The columns were designed to eliminate the need for supports when printed with the base on the print bed. You'll likely need to clean out the slots with a pick to remove any stringing that has occurred. Additionally, you'll require eight 3 mm x 8 mm screws for the top and eight 3 mm x 12 mm screws to attach the power supply to the bottom. The required lengths may vary depending on your specific power supply. The hole patterns worked for the power supply shown in the images; I'm assuming this is a standard bolt pattern. The mounting tab holes are sized for 1/4-inch bolts. The cable holes are designed for standard 110-volt power cables, and the output power hole should accommodate any necessary wires for your project. I utilized zip-ties to secure the wires both inside and outside the enclosure. Vent holes are provided for convective cooling. Since my application will have a low duty cycle, if your application has a high duty cycle, you might want to consider mounting a fan to one of the vent regions.
