I'll be following along. One stumbling block I always encounter is making the rectangular opening for the IEC, so I usually make a round hole with a strain relief bushing. How will you make the opening? Will you 3d print the rear panel? Thanks |

That is a nice looking case. |

In order to adjust the power supply voltage to calibrate the light source, I've been wondering about ways to avoid opening the case to do that. My current supply has the control built into the internal pcb. I've seen some power supplies that have the control on a separate potentiometer that could be detached and relocated. That would be one option. I've even considered a plastic rod glued to the built in pot that would protrude through the front panel of the case. Anyone solved this before? |

Hey all, just wanted to show off the CAD assembly for my tester unit. I have a lot of Makerbeam 10x10mm extrusion so decided I'd use that for my enclosure. Ended up finding pre-made cad for the LCD2004 unit, led fan unit, and of course manufacture 3D cad drawings for the PSU and iec plug.
The goal was as compact of a unit I could comfortably make. I gave up the ergonomics of having the two GX16x6 sensor plugs on the front in favor of smaller space. The case measures 200x102x200. I had to make 1mm spacers for the makerbeam joints to get the light unit to fit within the frame.
Here's a couple screenshots of the assembly.
I'm using a meanwell RS-25-12 (12v 2.1a) power unit, typical IEC snap-in power connector with on/off switch.
The rest is from the BOM unit.
I'll share progress on the actual physical build once it's finished.
