Description

A 3 part enclosure for LM2596 DC-DC converter series.

The LD2596 module's main task is to provide a lower voltage for a secondary circuit. For example from a 3D printer main power supply, from the 12-24vDC main power to the 5.3vDC required by a RaspberryPi. The LM2596 module is also usefull for temporary bread board alike circuits with its fast and easy monitored setup. It can be usefull too in a fixed setup to monitor input/output power voltage.

Features :

  • Hole to access the variable resistor for easy setup
  • Push button to aleternate In-Out voltage display
  • Pass-through cable management (up to 3mm diameter cables)
  • Holes for pannel/wall mount

Required hardware :

  • 2x DIN912 M3x6mm screws (or Hex-Socket plastic thread) to hold the board on the base
  • 2x M3x4x4mm Bronze inserts in the base to fix the cover
  • 2x DIN 912 M3*12 screws to fix the cover in place
  • 4x DIN 125 washers for DIN912 screws (preferabily nylon ones)
  • 2x 3x6mm screws or longer to fix the enclosur on any surface (optional)

Notes:

Please note the supports are already embed in the model.
I recommend to print the push button simulteaneously with another parts to avoid overheating. The perfect fit is reachable with correctly calibrated printers only.

The parts are optimized for 0.5mm nozzle and thinner nozzles, 3 perimeters and 0.8mm base/top layers.

Remove supports

Use an utility knife to remove suports on the cover, to release the flush screw holes.
