RD6006 Enclosure with Makita Battery Power

thingiverse

This enclosure for a RIDEN RD6006 Power Supply allows you to operate it using 1 or two 18V Makita batteries in serial or parallel. Serial gets you 36 volts while parallel gets you 18 volts, but more power. A toggle switch on the side allows you to choose which mode of operation you'd like. I've included a STEP file which should make it easier to modify / remix the design. This design depends on the [Makita Battery adapter](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3875426) which is available separately. For convenience I have included the parts here. The enclosure consists of three parts: a main housing, the bezel, and the battery adapters. **Main Housing** There are three pieces that you can choose between for the main housing. If you use two of the larger 18V batteries, it can cause the case tip backwards a bit. For this reason I have an optional brace that prevents this. Your choices are: 1. Print "Main with Brace.stl". This has the main body with the brace attached. 2. Print "Main.stl" and try it out. If you find it to be "tippy", print "Brace.stl" and glue it to the main housing between the batteries. Whichever option you choose, print the main housing upright. **Bezel** Print the bezel with the central part face-down on the print bed. The center is the side with the opening into which the RD6006 fits. This means that the front and top will print at a 45 degree angle. **Battery Adapters** Follow the instructions [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3875426). You'll need to print two adapters, each of which is two parts.
