This remixed PSU-cover model provides a cutout for a USB connector and extra space inside for a DC-DC step-down voltage converter, turning the PSU's 24V into the 5V needed for USB.

This is especially useful if you want to add a camera (like @ManelTo's Esp32 camera) as it will only power the camera when the printer is on!

Extra parts I used:

I'd recommend using spade connectors, and slightly bending them near the base. This will ensure the existing connectors on the PSU can remain tightly secured once you connect these additional ones.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Extended the depth of the cover so it would sit flush instead of recessed; added a cutout for a USB connector
