Description

I designed this 12V regulated power supply case using off-the-shelf components. 
It provides 6x 12V outputs (three individual circuits) for powering my astrophotography gear but can be used for general electronics projects.

⚡ Power Setup

  • Regulated PSU (12V 30A)
    🔗 Amazon link
  • IEC Power Socket with Switch and Fuse
    🔗 Amazon link
  • 6 × 12V DC output jacks (panel-mount) – 2 per PSU rail
    🔗 Amazon link

Wiring the high voltage circuit follows standard color convention:

  • Black → Line (L)
  • White → Neutral (N)
  • Green → Ground (⏚)
     

Wiring ther low voltage circuits follows standard color convention:

  • Black → Negative (-) [long pin on the barrel connector]
  • White → Positive (+) [short pin on the barrel connector]]

 

 

🧱 Enclosure & Mounting

  • Designed in Fusion 360 and printed in PLA + PETG
  • Ventilation on the top, bottom, and sides for passive cooling (the PSU has a FAN on the top aligned to the top circular vents in the design)
  • The PSU is mounted to the rear internal plate using 4 M4 screws on the sides
  • The plate with mounted PSU then slides into the enclosure and is secured by:
    • 4 M4 screws on the bottom
    • 4 M4 screws on the face (2 at the top/bottom and 2 on face plate sides)

The front faceplate holds:

  • 6 panel-mounted output jacks
  • Secured with 2 M4 screws on the sides

🔌 Electronics

  • Simple wiring: each jack is soldered to the PSU output terminals
  • Short pin = positive, long shell = ground
  • The PSU provides three pairs of V+ and V-, each pair wired to two jacks
  • Includes a voltage adjustment screw if precise 12V is needed
  • Built-in fan activates above 45°C, though it's never been triggered during astrophotography use — passive ventilation has been sufficient so far

Clean, functional, and easy to service or expand. Let me know if you’d like the STL files or wiring layout.
