AC/DC power converter cover
I wanted a clean look and a flush cover for a 5V power converter used to power Simone Giertz’s Every Day Calendar. It runs on 5V DC power. 5V USB phone chargers are ubiquitous but, like any “wall wart”, they protrude. To eliminate any visible cabling I added a handy-box to the correct spot in the wall at the same height as the calendar unit. I found a compact 120VAC-to-5VDC converter with adequate wattage, but it’s
hard to find a nearly-flush-fitting box cover, and I needed the DC jack to be flush too. So I made this cover that mounts the DC jack at a steep angle.

The Components
I evaluated several DC jacks and selected this panel mount 2.1mm x 5.5mm jack from Tensility International. It’s not a unique design, so other jacks can work. I only found a few suitable compact AC/DC modules. I bought this 20W CUI unit from Digikey.
The Code
While there are a few options in the code, this model only has one purpose. I used OpenSCAD for this project. I know that when I search for items on Printables, I am always glad to see the source code, so I’m providing it for you. OpenSCAD isn’t for everyone. It’s geared towards people with programming experience, but I’ve tried to make the code accessible. Regardless, you shouldn’t need to modify the code unless you just want to. Updates, corrections, and additions to the code will appear first in my GitHub repository.
