I'll drink to that.
Thanks!! It was a fun project.
Thanks!! I’m actually really shocked I got it looking this good on my first attempt.
Yep. I need a 12v bench-top power supply to test automotive components. The build up until this point is on my profile, if you wanna check it out. It turned out WAY better than I had imagined. I’m going to do an “unboxing” video once I get it all buttoned up. Throw a little Fallout humor in there. 😄
It was all from Amazon. Here the link for the blue knob.https://a.co/d/5BKP44n
No. It’s just a fancy bench-top power supply so I can troubleshoot automotive electric components. I’m just a bit extra. I have the build so far on my profile. I’ll do an “unboxing” video once it’s done. 🤣
💯 End all government subsidies!!
It just an old computer PSU that I am making into a variable voltage power supply for troubleshooting automotive components. I’m just a little extra.
Thanks!! It’s been fun, frustrating, and a massive learning experience.
And if you want to learn for free, look up Marty Schwartz on YouTube. Solid dude!! Get free lessons.
I picked up this one off amazon. Nothing too fancy, but it does work. https://a.co/d/dNwEK38
I have made a couple guitar pedals over the years. I could probably make something like this with multiple effects. It would actually look really cool on my half stack!!Ok, nobody tell my wife… but I just got my next project idea!!
It’s a variable voltage DC power supply for testing automotive components. I usually have an old car battery on hand with a small charge on it, but this will make life SO much easier!! Just clip the leads together and hit the fire button.
Yeah, my enthusiasm out paced my quality control. Don’t care, so long as it works when I’m done with it!!
Yep. I’ll never do that again! I own a vice, I should probably use it.
Nothing at the moment. I am waiting on parts. But it will be a variable voltage DC power supply to troubleshoot automotive components.
Before. It’s a variable voltage DC power supply. I seem to constantly be in need of 12v DC to test automatic components. I have two 20’ wires with clips to connect to a car battery. They do the trick in a pinch, but this thing make troubleshooting WAY easier!
If I’m being 100% honest, this was supposed to be a test plate so I rushed through the design. It turned out so good I just started drilling!! And at the end of the day it’s a tool in my shop, I don’t care about a typo if it works.
Hell yeah!! That’s awesome.
It’s foretold in the prophecy, or something.

Bingo!! I am sick of working on cars without a 12v power supply to test components. Might as well making it variable… and cool! 😎👍
This one’s from first batch the new 9000 series. You know Vault-Tec, get product to market and fix it after!! I’ll be sure to write their design department a strongly worded letter!!
I didn’t say I haven’t messed with electronics. I’ve worked with electronics for those 23 years. I’ve just haven’t had to draw up schematics since tech training. I just don’t know exactly what component I need to make it do what I want. I may end up having to use an automotive relay, but I think a one-way diode in conjunction with a resistor would also do the trick.As for the high voltage side, I’m not messing with anything on the board. I safety tested it at each step.
Yep, but not in a good way. I didn’t grab it tight enough before hitting the power on the drill. I’m lucky it wasn’t worse. I used the vise after that. 🤣
Worse. While drilling out the first large hole, I was holding the sheet metal by hand and my dumbass hit the power on the drill before I tightened my grip and the whole thing spun out of control. It hit me 3 times, but that’s the worst of it. I used the vice after that. 🤣
I blame Vault-Tec.
Here’s an update./gallery/kkzwSkI
What did people expect having only two parties to choose from? That’s a rigged game, any way you look at it. Stop voting for the R’s and the D’s and this will stop. But you won’t do that, will you?
Thanks!!
