The Challenge

Standard electronic enclosures are often bulky or lack the specific mounting points and ventilation required for custom hardware configurations. For this project, a power supply needed a compact, durable housing that provided both structural protection and thermal management, while maintaining precise tolerances for mounting screws and cable exits.

The Solution

The enclosure was designed from scratch as a high-performance shell for a power supply unit. A central integrated fan grill was modeled directly into the top face to ensure constant airflow and prevent overheating during continuous operation.

The piece was printed in a vibrant Orange PLA, chosen for its high visibility in industrial environments and its excellent dimensional accuracy. The design includes precision-located mounting holes and a recessed front cutout for easy access to wiring terminals, ensuring a clean, "pro-fit" installation.

Key Features

Material: Industrial Orange PLA
Design Philosophy: Thermal optimization with integrated cooling vents
Safety: Non-conductive housing for high-voltage power components
Mounting: Precision-aligned screw holes for standard PSU mounting
Aesthetic: High-visibility finish for workshop or industrial settings
Application: Electrical housing and protection

The Result

The custom enclosure provided a tailored fit that saved space while improving the safety and longevity of the power supply. By integrating the ventilation and mounting features into a single printed part, the assembly time was reduced, and the need for secondary machining was eliminated, resulting in a professional-grade industrial component.
