-2x Generic PNP transistors
-500R resistor x4 (or a close one)
-10k resistor x2
-100nf ceramic capacitor x2
-5V regulator L7805CV
-Heat-sink for the voltage regulator
-3mm Red LED x2
-5mm Two Colours LED and Panel mount for it.
-Etching Solution (Ferric Chloride) It is also used for PCB etching.
-Two containers for using the etching solution. One should fit inside the other and the inner one has to be big enough so the aluminium enclosure fits inside. (See step 2
for photos). They also need to be heat resistant.
TOOLS
-Dremel
-Cutting disk
-Drill and various drill bits
-Heat glue gun
-Solder and soldering iron
For the optional upgrade of warning LED's you will also need:
Household iron
Laser Printer

Step 7: Testing
Here is a video of a test of the power supply. I hope you enjoy this instructable. I will be happy to answer any questions or help you out to build your own.

Hello,
I found this to be awesome and made it but I'm running into a problem. When the output switch is off, I have about 4.15v on the output terminals when my
display reads 18v. Shouldn't that be 0v? Also, if I set the voltage to a value below 5v the output terminals have a negative voltage of (set value)-5v.
The only difference I have is using 2N3906 instead of the BC327.
Can someone give me some help, please?

Hi Newton
I searched, but cannot find the dimensions of the aluminium enclosure. I cannot use your source and have to look somewhere else, but I need dimensions if
you can please?
Oh, and thanks

NP. If you're in the U.S., the Rat Shack has a similar box. I just found them on ebay for 3.49, free shipping.
deneman says:
Thanks rpotts2, I am in South Africa. I will check out eBay, although I doubt they will ship to SA for free.

Hi there,
The third trimpot is to adjust when the middle LED will lit when using it to charge batteries. You can read more about it here:
http://circuit-diagram.hqew.net/Adjustable-LM2596-DC-DC-Step-down-Converter_12827.html
I will be happy to help in any way I can. I hope you have your own Small Bench Power Supply up an running soon.

Hi Vim,
After the aluminium it's etched, they are groves in the aluminium where the nail polish will be. so even if the nail polish wears off, the aluminium will still
have the "grove" or etch, so you can paint it again if you want.

If I were to do the design without the LED's where would I connect the single ground wire?

Great instructable.
I would like to set/review the CC limit before plugin in the load, and all that I can think is to use a dummy load, say 1R 5W.
Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Hi
Current is going in the opposite direction to the emitter arrow....
newtonn2 says:
You're right, thank you very much for letting me know. Here is how it should be.

And what about doing short-circuit with the two wires? Is there a protection circuit?

Have you operated this near an AM-BC, Ham SSB, SW, and/or VHF-Aircraft receiver, please?
I'm curious about potential RFI.
Thanks, David KD4E

Hello Newtonn2,
I appreciate and envy your creativity and, consistent with your busy schedule and your ability, I make a request that I think would help quite a few people.
Are Alfio, leg amputee, Italian, and for greater autonomy, I need a system of suspension of the prosthesis with negative suction that I can not afford for the
high costs of sale.
Would you have an idea for the design and construction of a small vacuum pump with the possibility of adjusting the vacuum to be applied?
I'll send you the link of the system sold by Ottobock but not necessarily the project must be so sophisticated, it could connect to the socket via a simple tube

Its far from finished, but it does the job. I tried if it will work and its still in that experimental box.
I'm waiting for a aluminium box big enough to put in a fan and 40v power supply that i took out of old printer.
