Notes

A printable case for an ADAM power supply built around a Mean Well RT-50A - the triple-output unit most commonly used for this job.

Why external

  • The machine's power supply lives inside its daisy wheel printer, so an ADAM without a working printer will not start at all.
  • An external supply bypasses the printer, which makes a printerless machine usable and spares a surviving printer the load.

What the case does

  • A bare industrial power supply on a desk is a hazard and an eyesore. A case makes it a finished object.
  • The design is published for anyone to print, which is why several builders' ADAM supplies look alike inside.

The ADAM's connector wants +12V on two pins, +5V, -5V and ground; the negative rail is why an ordinary adapter cannot be substituted and a multi-output unit like the RT-50A is the sensible basis.
