The purpose of this page is to supplement the PCPowerSupply page in this wiki and eventually replace it with a newer, more up-to-date version.

A couple of remarks here: I am of the opinion that it is better to buy a new inexpensive ATX PSU and modify it for RepRap use, then to buy a cheap LED strip PSU. Cheap LED strip PSUs are imho a safety hazard, much more so than a new inexpensive ATX PSU. I am appalled by the fact that some commercial RepRap kits and printers are shipped with cheap LED strip PSUs!

I will show later in this page:

1. How to modify in a few quick steps an inexpensive ATX PSU for RepRap use.

2. Also a method to use the ATX PSU of your choice with any RepRap printer, that does not require any modification to the PSU and does not void its warranty.
