Thanks to modelatolyesi for making his power supply cover in openSCAD. I was quickly able to replace some of the wire connectors he/she used, and added my own hole for some speaker spring loaded terminals that I was using. This file is pretty simple, and easy to change, despite (or maybe because of) the many magic numbers in the code.

This power supply cover is stretched a little from the original. My PSU is 2mm larger, and I was worried it wouldn't fit. If you want to change the height of the original, take a look at my openscad file.

This has the same spot for the hobby king ampmeter, which I'm pretty sure I own, but I can't find right now. I also liked the video that agentbauman made. His cover would have been remade, but I didn't want to use sketchup. His idea of using the ps_good like for the LED is definitely a good one, so I added a spot for a 5mm LED, and the letters "GOOD" above it. The four wires sticking out the front are for the original molex connectors, which I will solder on when I first need them. I use them to power fans on my soldering station. I get the fans from almost any desktop computer that people give me to dispose of.

I'm happy with this, but if I were to make it again, I would make the height significantly larger. There's 18cm behind the panel, in front of the PSU. That's just not very much when these PSU wires are so stiff and large. I would probably be happy with about 40cm (or 38cm). I'll load the larger one, although I didn't print it, so beware.
