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):
- Scope
- PSU
- Powered USB hub
- small box with Multimeter, Bus Pirate, OpenLogic Sniffer, cables and probes
- large box with tools (tweezers, pliers, screw drivers, hex keys, cutters, ...)
- large box with a soldering iron and soldering supplies (solder, desoldering wick, flux gel, solder paste, kapton, tips, ...)
- Rework Station
- Power tools and other large stuff in cases like hex wrenches, more screwdrivers, cordless drill, and a rotary hammer
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.
