Transformer case

Case for a Transformer Taken from an Old JVC 5.1 Home Theatre Amplifier The project is still in development, so some dimensions may change slightly. The transformer provides a clean output of 26V/5A from one secondary coil, making it an ideal power supply for the 3D printer's heat bed, which was initially limited to 15 volts and struggled to reach ABS temperatures. With the higher voltage, I'm able to achieve a consistent 120 degrees Celsius, whereas the original setting only reached 70 degrees Celsius. The case is designed to accommodate additional components, including a fuse, relay, and two cables (main power and a 4-wire cable for relay control and 26V output). The design may be adaptable for other transformers with minor adjustments in Solidworks. Print Settings Printer: Velleman K8200 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.18 Infill: 25% Notes: I strongly recommend using at least five perimeter walls and a top/bottom layer thickness of 25% infill for safety reasons, as this object requires sturdiness. If possible, consider printing it solidly. PLA is a suitable material due to the transformer's moderate operating temperature, which prevents the case from deforming or softening during extended print sessions.
