It's so amazing
Its a really cool thing...but im just a pc techie and you lost me at about 8 min so I had to go and find the "for dummies" versions of all the other stuff, cool vid though 👍🏻
My only issue is the repetitive music 🤮
Most of the big CZcamsrs channels use the copyright free music from the Kevin MacLeod free library....
I think you are the first person to explain what is it good for before just going into the build. Good work!
Thanks for your comment! 😀
Make a projector
Love seeing younger generation folks taking initiative to do projects like this ! After 40-years of being a machinist , I watch their skills using crude tools & angle grinders & think to myself " my God, what could these kids build if they had access to a bonafide machine shop " ? Great vid !
Hey, Ricky! Thanks a bunch for your encouraging words!

I watch this and have some hope for the younger generation after all!
Indeed
Reminds me of how I started before dad and I started a fab shop.
You have done a great job on this tutorial. Not only did you put a lot of effort in explanation but also provided links for everything ! Shows that you really motivated for this project and tutorial. I wished every tutorials were like yours'. Keep going, you have a bright future ! 👍
Many thanks for your kind and appreciative comment! 😊👍👍
Reminds me of my self when I was younger, but your better at it now than I was until I was nearly 35!
A very useful addition to the workbench... Well done young "sparky" for a comprehensive breakdown...!
Yes! It sure is a super duper handy device to have on any maker's workbench, especially with multiple user-friendly features in one box. Thanks for your comment! :D
Wow! The finishing of the project is really awesome! 💯
Great one Max! 😃
Thank you so much, Abhishek! :)
this video reminds me of college days when we used to build fascinating things from scrap.
Great job! I built a similar power supply a while back and used almost the same components. You added a few things I hadn't thought of. Great job!
Hi! Many thanks! Cool to hear!
Best DIY Bench Power Supply video I have yet seen. And I’ve watched a lot of them. I might use your PVC pipe method you used with your recent RC car body instead of the boards, otherwise it’s pretty sweet. Glad I found your channel
Thanks so much for your encouraging words! Glad to hear you've gotten inspired.
Cheers 👍🏻
Holy crap, I came across your channel by chance and I have to say... MAD RESPECT my guy! It's really amazing to see someone your age taking on and sharing such awesome projects and DIYs, keep it up! You've definitely got a bright future ahead of ya!
I am very grateful to hear your appreciative comments... Thanks for your support!

Great work. Of the 10 or so units Ive watched videos on, yours is by far the most functional! Keep it up!
Many thanks for your kind words!
Great work max,superb
The finshings to your project are best man
Thanks a lot! Have a good weekend!
Thanks max
Using the RCA jacks for the variable power was slick. I wondered if I would want some your features more modular but your design saves soo much space and works so well integrated, it's really hard to argue for it. great job.
Thanks a lot!
great idea u put all the needy things together
Thanks! Yup, It's sort of turned into my multi-power tool 🙂✌
Awesome project Max 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A big thanks! :D
You certainly packed a lot into that box 👍👍
And a lot is what it needed! I couldn't be more glad with the way it turned out, all working well, it should be the source to many more upcoming projects. Thanks for your comment, James 🙂
just awesome the compactness and extra features are pretty useful for everyday uses ,
It's currently the tool I'm using most at my workbench. Also, the 18650 cell charger couldn't have been a more handy integration. Thanks for your comment!
Useful tool , Max. It' s very nice
Thanks for your kind comment :D
This power supply is action packed with features plus all components can be sourced quite easily. In the end you have an invaluable tool for most electronic projects. Using recycled parts is also a huge bonus!
Thanks for your comment!
Good job, Max
You and Linus techtips are my favorite tech channels now. Very fun even with someone who has limited experience with these things. I will be looking forward to your future videos. I hope you grow to 10 Mil someday!
Welcome aboard! I am heart-warmed to hear that! Thanks for your support 😀
For real, loving your channel. We need to get you more subs.
Many thanks, John! 😀
Impressive... I was watching the video and saw when you serialized the 5v... I thought... that's going to cause a problem... I've done the same thing... but you came up with a very elegant solution!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Great build, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
using pencaps as spacers blew my fucking mind. i am not creative enough. ive been wanting to convert an old laptop to a linux desktop and those spacers have held me back. subbed
Glad my video helped you. Cheers.
Very nice project
Thank you!
Great built quality Max 😃🙌🏼
Glad you like it, thanks a lot! :)
@@MaxImagination no problem have a great weekend 😊🙌🏻
@@joshuaaranguren1020 Thanks, buddy! Likewise :D
Very nice one mate.
I am going to make one of my own
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comment! Cheers!
Awesome video Max...
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks :D
WARNING ! RCA sockets are not designed to feed current (2amp max), use banana sockets instead (10 or 15 amp max)
Thanks for your tip. However, if modified correctly, the sockets should work fine for carrying that amount of current.
Better yet, use Anderson Powerpoles
That’s not necessarily true, I have a really thick high quality cord the auto rca on it is small but the video you can tell it’s a lot thicker wire and you can see the connector is beefer. I use it with my amateur radio, I’m sure there is quality ones that support more amperage from radio / video equipment stores
Great video Max! You are my biggest inspiration
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that!
very useful and very well made!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Nice job and great post and wow you are patient with "so-called" experts lol
Thank you!
Hi Max🙋♂️ nice power supply
Hi, Naraş! Thanks :D
Good job on this, helps a lot on ideas. Only thing I would suggest having worked with Lion batteries for so many years, the actual voltage of the battery is far more important than an indicator light. If the voltage is
Thanks for your comment and pointing out this interesting but important key thing about Li-Ions.
I've charged old cells that got pretty warm when charging but still charged up. Yes, they are probably the most unsafe battery cells to work with, so precaution is number one. I appreciate your input on the project, good for others to keep in mind as well. Cheers!
Hey, Epic build. Just a tip. It will be easier to put the metal plates under/behind a old piece of wood to drill holes in it and so they wont bend also. 😉
Hi! Thanks for the tip! :D
no 1 best psu with feature in youtube.
Many thanks! :D
Парнишка красавчик, очень большой объем работ, все своими руками, это очень круто, подписался )))
This was Awesome!!!
Thank you, Robert!
hi Max . amazing idea
Thank you! Also anticipating your next video. Cheers! :)
@@MaxImagination yes i am trying to get inspired to continue the passion
You are a very good video creator
Thank you so much 😀
@@MaxImagination u deserve it 😎
wow... Awesome Bro..👍..
Thank you! Cheers!
Thats a really good handy bench PSU
Thanks for your kind input 👍🏻 🙂
Nice n simple project
Thanks for watching! :D
Awesome Max 👍👍👍
Thank you! :)
Thank for sharing
I thought the smoke from inside😅. Nice work 👏
Glad it wasn't what they call "Magic Smoke" 😅
Thanks!
Good job.
Thanks for watching!
Heat activity switch I like this circuit 😍😍💯💯❤❤
Hey! I appreciate hearing that!
I planned on using an old psu from dell using potentiometers to inject low voltage.
Very nice!
Thanks for the visit!
Very nice. Fuse the ac input though.
Thanks for your comment, Kenneth. Good point about the fuse, will do... 👍
Thanks
Honestly i'm not a fan of the phono sockets as they are not high current connectors, as you suggest 4mm jacks would be better, but i appreciate you're working with what you got. Also props for making a point about earthing/grounding, it's a life-saver and many people skip it.
Yup, I did the best with what I had at hand. Thanks for your comment and pointing things out!
Great project! What type of apoxy do you use for holding the ports in place? Looking for a small batch apoxy for similar use cases.
Hi! Thank you. I now use ABRO epoxy, I might've linked something like it below in my affiliate store front in tools and supplies that I use. Check it out. Cheers.
@@MaxImagination Thank you!
Well done. I need one of those for my workbench. Nicely done good sir.
Thanks! 👍
Since you liked this video, you may also want to watch how I developed my own 3D-Printed WiFi Security Camera - czcams.com/video/Ul0h5Maeoeg/video.html
Dude I am so used to seeing 3d printed cases this was really refreshing Rick level shit bro nice! Morty I built a ufo fro garbage...
Thanks a lot! Haha 😂
I would like have had front and back panel 3d printed instead of wood. Awesome DIY
You could sure do that! Thank you!
Have you heard of "Anderson PowerPole" wire cable connections? There are many gage wire connectors.
Never heard of them. I looked them up and they look familiar. Thanks for the part suggestion.
love how u have only 100 views yet 20 comments :]
It would be way easier to use a pc psu case as a case, since it already has some of the ports for this project, other than that, awesome project!
Good tip. That could have also worked. Thanks for your comment!
great. thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hi, excellent work, How much time (Days/Months) taken for completing this project, from start to end?
Hi. Thanks for your comment! This project took me about 3 weeks to complete counting every day I made progress on making it.
Cheers,
Max
I am from India and the variable display based dc converter, seems not available here. Checking some alternatives
Might as well just buy one going this route. I’m looking to build one from components. Yes I will say it looks pretty good but how much do you have in it as far as cost?
I made the mistake of purchasing the SMPS converter when I could have used a PC ATX supply unit. One could save $20 here. I spent a total of around $50 making this PSU.
@@MaxImagination Your way is better if you're doing everything from scratch. I would maybe do it in 2 parts. Regular ATX PSU to supply the 12v and 5V and then all the other doodads in a separate case but adding easy battery connectors is a really cool idea as it makes it somewhat portable. Or even better, power the whole thing with an old laptop power brick especially if you have a beefy 130w brick lying around.
Nice work. Did you know about reusing old PC-power supplies for DIY lab power supplies?
No, I only came to the realization afterwards. Could bring the cost down another $20!
What a great device. It's multifunctional and usefull device. One thing though. I saw you commented on another Electric DIY CZcamsr video. He had bunch of fake videos in his channel. Please don't give them credit by commenting on their videos.
Hi. Thanks for your comment!
Which CZcamsr was this? What's the channel name?
@@MaxImagination I think I replied to your comment that time. Now I don't remember the channels name. The video you commented on wasn't fake video, but that channel had lot's of fake video too
@@MaxImagination The bad thing is that you put lot's of effort and work on your projects but your viewers are about 20k-30k. The fakers have millions viewer and subs. This is the worst part of CZcams.
can you make a solar charging system to your camera and setup it on the wall
I was thinking of doing that! Good idea!
Looks good though it really neads a fuse on the AC input.
Thanks for the comment with your tip, I'll consider making this change 👍
muy bueno quedó , lastima que solo uniste cables , no diseñaste nada , saludos
It would be nicer if you posted the full circuit diagram with all the different parts shown, As it is one has to figure out things here and there and do a bit of guessing too. Is it a tall order?
The full circuit diagram is linked in the description, hand-drawn. Yes, you have to do a bit of thinking too to make an intermediate project as such come to life!
Can someone please help me how to make the temperature sensor thingy, i cant figure out what diode or resistor the young lad is using
Sure. Check the diagram here again: drive.google.com/file/d/1xT-7rCxKNZLwKLg-iPQoXNK4AownCvSo/view?usp=sharing
It uses a 10K ohm variable resistor (potentiometer) and a 2.2K ohm fixed resistor.
Great video
what is cost of making this bench power supply?
Hi there. Thank you! The total build cost may vary from USD $35-60 depending on what you don't yet have in terms of parts.
This is great but I think I’ll leave the cell charger out, I’m in the uk so I’ll see how mine goes with 240v 👀
may want to look at the power switch. you had an arc when you turned it on.
Will look into it!
Excelente 👌
¡Gracias Señor!
Hi Max,
11 months on and with the benefit of hindsight, is there anything you would do differently?
If so, would it be worth a v2.0 video?
Thanks.
Hi there. It works for me fine as it is, I use it every day for testing my circuits.
If I were to improve it, I'd probably just add a fuse at the AC input and some better connectors for power (|Banana Jacks). Apart from that, it works good and I don't think it is worth making an upgrade video.
Cheers!
@@MaxImagination That's good to know. Thanks for the reply. 👍
So what's the polarity? Is it indicated in circuit diagram?
Polarity of what?
nice
Could one 3d print the case and other stuff. IAny worries about fire or melt down.
Hi and yes. The case may be 3D printed as long as you place suspended supporting posts for modules to be well seated, open space for heatsinks (to prevent meltdown). Insulating connections would still be a good idea, even with a plastic case.
Cheers
Where do I find the thermal activated fan switch
Hi, Robert. You might find something commercial online or you make it yourself.
How are the batteries and laptop adapters "less stable"?
Batteries may be the most unstable, but laptop adapters do not have variable output power - is what I probably meant.
@@MaxImagination true, although variable laptop power supplies are available. (I have one.) There is a switch, so you get fixed voltages, for example 12, 15, 16 18, 19, 21 and 24 volts not variable, which I realize was the objective. Current limited to max amount; short circuit protection included.
How's the ripple voltage?
Hi. I haven't yet tested my lab PSU on an oscilloscope as I do not have one. Cheers.
3d printed pickup handle
I want a BOM and schematics, pretty please xo 🙂
You can find the parts/components list and diagram in the video description.
@@MaxImagination I bought a 60W power supply for a rack based PC and hopefully can add a variable step down transformer with digital display for voltage n current, stick it in a box n be done with it!?
Good Work Very Good,
I recommend using a Transformer as power supply instead of switching power supply, Transformer will last way more longer than SMPS
But very good though
Hi, Sasuke. Thanks for your comment!
I'll keep your tip in mind for the future 👍
Are the ampere adjustable?
Yes, you can set adjustable current limits.
Magnífica
You used very powerful power supply which can output 20A at 12V but you used 5A step down converter why?
That's so I can give it future upgrades with higher power step down converters and other power-related peripherals such as chargers.
Wowww
Nice. Good Job. You look handsome too.... :)
