PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.

A project box for holding these common voltage step-down (buck) modules. **LM2596 is an inexpensive standard module** made by a number of manufacturers. Typically 3.0-40V input and 1.5-35V output, but exact specs depend on the module. Widely available on Amazon and elsewhere, they are **approximately $2 each**.

I believe XL6009 step-up/step-down (buck/boost) converters will also fit, but I don't have one to check.

**If you like it, please hit like.**

I made two versions of the box with different sized cable exits: "standard gauge" 3.8x1.6mm, "heavy gauge" 3.8x4.6mm.

2x M3 x 6 screws or glue are required for assembly, set the output voltage before assembly. (No supports required, use a screw driver to punch through the sacrificial membrane in the lid's screw holes.)
