long version

Danny showed me the  DP30V3A – thus emerged the idea to „briefly“ build a tiny  benchtop power supply that is powered directly by a wall outlet.

As I didn’t have access to a lasercutter for a while this project just collected dust.

Now there is even better adjustable power supply successors – the DP30V5A, DP50V2A or even the DP50V5A module.

I opted for the 36V version of the Qianson WX-DC2416 switching power supply as power source for the DP30V3A since it was the smallest 230V -> 36V power supply with enough amperage I could find at the time.

It does require a quick mod though because the  DP30V3A can only handle 35V.

As you can see I placed a 47k multi-turn precision potentiometer in place of the R11 resistor (original value 20k).

This R11 resistor is part of a voltage divider that adjusts the output voltage.
