Really cool idea, I love the formfactor, and the way it looks. This has inspired me to perhaps make my own. Though I feel I might do the same with combining the voltmeter and power supply together, I don't have a shelving unit, so I would perhaps just make it modular to fit on my shelf. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad to hear it inspired you! I should note that the power supply I talked about actually has a built-in voltmeter however you cant use it while the power supply is delivering power but rather only when it's on standby. Would love to see your power supply when its done!
My first hobby power supply was an old computer power supply that I modified to have 3.3v, 5v, and 12v outputs. It was a great start. I then upgraded to a bench top power supply.
I've made my own power supply! A friend of mine had a old Power Mac G5 which had a 1KW PSU in it. I figured with power levels like that I could use a Buck & Boost arrangement to get a very handy bench supply with a wide range of voltages and currents. I bought a 600W Boost converter with CC and CV controls. I also sourced a lower power Buck converter for the lower voltages. i then got a a nice LCD Power meter all from Banggood I believe and fitted it all together ontop of the PSU enclosure with a metal front panel. I should really snap some pics of it, I hardly use it anymore since I got a real lab supply which is more reliable, Still was a fun learning experience!
Seems that most people started off by making their own supply which is really great! As far as I know, those old Power Macs used water cooling and were pretty serious machines so I can imagine that the power supply was pretty powerful! Thanks for the comment!
love the contents that you put your time in, totally worth it

Seems that this was the way that most people started off, I thought about building one of these but it was just way to big. Thanks for the comment!

Had a range of 1.25V to 98V :D

Yeah! My friend opted to keep the water cooling unit for something. I'm just glad to have gotten a 1KW PSU
Great video dude
i made my own power supply pretty tiny using lm317 the only problem is the heat and I don't have a 30v power supply so I use 12v it has two channels
Nice work!
My first hobby psu was an 19v laptop charger connected to an step-down converter with a DSN-VC288 display thingy
