In this video, I'm using an old computer power supply and a breakout board for it to make a lab bench poweer supply that I can use in my basement workshop. I already have a bench power supply on my electronics workbench but I needed another one for when I'm working on projects in my basement.

The build uses a 3D printed enclosure, a XH-M229 breakout board and a SK35 switching buck-boost DC power supply to provide current limited output. The XH-M229 board outputs the standar voltages from the PSU, +12V, -12V, 5V and 3.3V while the SK35 module can output any other voltage between 0.5V and 30V.

I first modified the power supply to remove all the wires that were not needed and I then proceeded to assemble everything inside the PETG, 3d printed enclosure. You can finsd the enclosure model here:
