Description

Upgraded Micromake D1 printer with Klipper/Fluidd and wanted to streamline all the parts and cables so built a combined PSU/PI box that has the UBEC internal feeding the PI directly on the PI header pins.  Now there is just the AC, USB, and the power cables external and routed neatly outside.  

Update: Added mounts for normal mounting and BMG extruder style.

I use 2 banana clips for the 12v to the printer and a combined switch plug in.  I use banana clips because i can always plug more stuff into them if I want to add lights… etc.

UBEC - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32723077 (I did not use a ferrite)
2x M4 ~ 10mm screws to attach PSU bracket
3x M3 ~ 15mm screws to attache PSU cover. (Or 1x 40mm screw, see notes)
3x M3 ~ 35mm screws to hold down the Pi cover
3xM3 nuts (Captured in the PSU cover to attach the Pi bracket/cover

As always FreeCAD model attached so you can modify if needed.  
 

Notes on build:

  • I always OS my PI holes to 3mm.  Just drill slow and it should open up no issues.
  • I hacked the backside out for SD card access because of my fat fingers and added that to the model.
  • The bridge at the top of the AC input for the PSU bracket is so small it might as well not exist.  Does not mater when the cover is installed so i trimmed it off.
  • The UBEC sits in the PSU bracket area and the wire routes up through the hole
  • I have the one PSU cover hole that shares the PI cover designed that you could insert a M3-40mm screw but I ended up drilling out that hole at the top for a allen wrench access and screwing the PI board down directly with that screw. 
  • The nuts are not super snug fit so they might try to fall out till you get a screw in them so I temporarily held them in with tape.
