Things are moving slowly on the 3D printer enclosure simply due to the big prints and the process of prototyping. I am loathe to waste filament on minor improvements so will probably be running with the v1.0 stuff on my own printer while the designs that eventually get uploaded will have the improvements - though some will be untested. Anyway, I decided that instead of using a 12V power supply and a buck converter for the 5V stuff, it would be better to get a dual 12v 5v supply, and fortunately I found one from Meanwell which has a good reputation for PSU's. It is the RD-65A which can supply 5v @ 6A (30W) and 12V @ 3A (36W) making it ~65W in total. It is about $24 at Amazon and cheaper on Ebay and most important, it is small.
My plan is to put it in an enclosure with a fused 110 AC outlet (which will be enclosed in it's own covered comaprtment, a 6 position 2 input (5v and 12v) fuse block, some illuminated rockers, a Raspberry Pi, and a thermostatically controlled PWM fan to cool the enclosure. It will also have a pair of LCD voltmeters to monitor the 12V and 5V feeds from the RD-65A, and possibly a temp sensor as well.
Right now this is the rough draft and will be updated with correct mounting holes and a few other odds and ends. This will take up much of the bed on my CR10S Pro in order to print.
