This is a set of model files to build a variable desktop DC power supply. I've decided to build this because I did not like how my store-bought DC power supply did only had 1 set of binding posts. I often work with loose strands of conductors and/or USB interface, and I wanted a compact power unit that can be put right next to the project piece I am working on.
One feature I want to make a comment on, is the use of the banana plugs. I did not have any spring loaded connectors on hand to use with loose conductors, and I thought I could just use the thumb screw portion of the banana plugs to clamp wires down, which is why you see it installed upside down and is recessed below the rest of the surface.
Who this is for
This is for those who have a buck boost converter laying around and want to have some fun building something with it. If you legitimately need a DC power supply, I recommend buying one instead of building as it's much less work and you will end up spending more m
