Nice clean design. The camera is positioned out of the way but with a good view of the build. The wire routing inside the arm is a nice touch.
Where do you connect the USB-Cable as best practice? :)

Please read the description.
"..You can use any DC-DC buck converter up to 20x16x4mm and 5V or 3.3V output.."
"..The power supply is connected to the motherboard, USE the RIGHT PAIR of power connectors, the left of them are for powering the heat bed and the voltage on them can be unstable.."
This prints really well, but sadly none of the buck converters I have fit into the designated place.
I poked around Amazon, but couldn't seem to find a smaller design. :/
This is a work in progress for me. Printed everything and that went well. My buck convertor is a tiny bit too thick to fit. Is there any chance of getting the source CAD files so I can tweak it?

@amorim_55724 Just be careful, it can be confusing with all the different voltages involved. I used a 24v LED strip, a 24v relay module, and a buck converter which steps 24v down to 5v for the ESP32CAM. That's slightly different to your picture, which uses 5v from the ESP32CAM to power the relay. I wanted to keep the buck converter in the ESP32CAM housing, and run minimal wires to the electronics box which is why I did it my way.
Can't publish a make as I have a Beagle Cam and don't need this, but that is absolutely something that Prusa should include with every printer they sell. Really nice!
