compass Registered User Thread OP	Build Log Meanwell RSP-1000 Makeover Recently purchased a Meanwell RSP-1000 from Progressive RC a reputable vendor and a well known PSU brand for my icharger 406 DUO. But it seemed bare, incomplete, and 'naked'. So I decided to have some fun and give it a makeover. Images View all Images in thread Views: 83 Straight out of the box. Nice, works, but something missing. Views: 69 24 volt terminals on left, yellow and green must be shorted for PSU to work, 120 AC on right. Views: 92 Dual fan setup, should be good on the cooling. Views: 94 Based upon the mfr. provided dimensions, the front cap is modeled in Fusion 360. Openings for pushbutton on/off, XT90 panel mount plug, a pair of binding posts, and an IEC plug on the side. Views: 78 Modeled the back cap with holes same size as fans. Recessed screw holes on sides provided. Views: 90 Hours and hours of printing, modifying, and re-printing. Views: 84 spray-on filler/primer Views: 80 for both front and back caps Views: 23 Followed by lots of sanding Views: 17 Dug out my old airbrush, along with some left-over paint. Let's just wing it and see what I can come up with. Views: 21 Give it a faded look and let it dry. Views: 24 Not bad for an amateur Views: 27 Front fits perfectly. Different story for the back, was hard to slide in, had to file and sand some more. Views: 15 ok, lets wire it up. Put some LED lights inside so had to get a DC/DC buck converter. 3-D printed the XT90 panel mount and soldered the wires up. Views: 19 Vinyl wrap came in, first time wrapping something like this. I like the carbon-fiber look. Views: 21 Done, I'm happy with it, looks good if I say so myself. Views: 27 Maybe should've painted the XT90 panel mount, but still looks alright. Views: 17 Put on the PSU specs, and Progressive RC sticker that came shipped with it. Views: 18 Back cap turned out ok, fit up was tight for some reason, but managed to push it on with some effort. Views: 22 I like the IEC plug, keeps it clean, along with the recessed-beveled screw hole to keep it all flush. Views: 45 Powered up, lights on, and 24volt supplied power.
