Yet another lab power supply enclosure, made from a single print without need for supports. USB C power input is attached with a drop of hot glue to the printed podestal so that my laptop power supply can be used to power this lab voltage and current source. Photographs show version with 12.5 mm holes suitable for 4 mm banana plugs with protection. Other banana plugs may need smaller holes (see alternative stl). I also include an stl without holes so that the perfect diameter hole and their placement can be made either in prusa-slicer using subtract mode or using a drill.

I use this power supply unit for battery charging and conversely to power devices from a solar generator battery using the adjustable voltage and an adapter plug.

I bought a 36V 5A power supply module that was recommended by the youtube channel WattHour (the very cheap ones have some problems such as potentiometer failures):

USB C input used is this one here, but dimensions are uncritical and others work as well:
