New PSU

A project log for IVAR, the hack rack

Since I've got a lot of my stuff in an IKEA IVAR rack, I decided to take the rack to the next level.

The ATX PSU I had installed previously was moved to my 3D printer, so I needed a new PSU for IVAR. I looked for a small one that wouldn't occupy too much space and luck was on my side - it fits next to the scope:

The PSU is a PeakTech 6227, 0-60 V, 0-6 A.

I printed a bracket to keep it from being push back when I plug in cables:

I only printed one of these to go behind the PSU's back feet since the front can't move sideways anyway.

OpenSCAD and STL files for the brackets (DS1054Z, PeakTech 6227) are in the project files section.

In general, this is what I have in my hack rack (from top to bottom):

There's still room for another small box (currently there's a cutting mat in that space) and I'm not sure what exactly to put there. Maybe finer tools that I don't want to be thrown around like the more robust stuff.
